Need no fourth boon from thee
You have been good, day night or noon,
I feel glad to give you a boon—
God asked the Eden Garden man.
Thanks, but I’ve Earth and Sun and Moon,
Given have ye best of boons too—
Heart and head and helpful hands two,
It’s more than enough already,
What would I with thy fourth boon do?

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