    A fire-mist and a planet,
    A crystal and a cell,
    A jellyfish and a saurian,
    And caves where the cavemen dwell;
    Then a sense of law and beauty,
    And a face turned from the clod--
    Some call it Evolution,
    And others call it God.

Then a spark;
Out of the cloud a silence,
Then a lark;
Out of the heart a rapture,

And side by side in the sluggish tide
We sprawled in the ooze and slime.

Be horrid Chimpanzees to-day.
