Gilbert Keith Chesterton - Femina Contra Mundum
Work rating: Low

The sun was black with judgment, and the moon
            Blood: but between
I saw a man stand, saying: `To me at least
            The grass is green.

`There was no star that I forgot to fear
            With love and wonder.
The birds have loved me`; but no answer came —
            Only the thunder.

Once more the man stood, saying: `A cottage door,
            Wherethrough I gazed
That instant as I turned — yea, I am vile;
            Yet my eyes blazed.

`For I had weighed the mountains in a balance,
            And the skies in a scale,
I come to sell the stars — old lamps for new —
            Old stars for sale.`

Then a calm voice fell all the thunder through,
            A tone less rough:
`Thou hast begun to love one of my works
            Almost enough.`
