Need no fourth boon from thee
You have been good midnight or noon,
Happy, let me give you a boon—
God asked the Eden Garden man,
I have this Earth and Sun and Moon.
Given have ye best of boons too—
Heart and head and handy hands two,
It’s more than enough already,
What would I do with the fourth due?

Poet’s note: Long ere, God once asked man to ask for four boons. This was before he had bitten the fruit of temptation in Eden Garden. Ever so happily content that he was, this is what he says.
