About this poem

The tale of Genesis 1:1-5 (NRSV) reads as follows: In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.

God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening, and there was morning, the first day.  more »
