406. The gifts of earth and Heaven

Earth, my earth, I love you.
I am all gratitude to you
Because
You have given me what you really have:
Despair, brooding despair.

Heaven, my Heaven, I love you.
I am all gratitude to you
Because
You have given me what you really have:
Nectar, immortalising Nectar.
