Sorry if this sounds like a devotional…
“He scarce had said, when the bare Earth, till then Desert and bare, unsightly, unadorn’d, Brought forth the tender Grass, whose verdure clad Her universal Face with pleasant green, Then herbs of every leaf, that sudden flour’d Op’ning thir various colours, and made gay Her bosom smelling sweet…”
