Wanted to Share A Poem

I'm reading a text for my masters and came across this poem...


Earth is crammed with heaven
And every common bush afire with God;
But only he who sees takes off his shoes,
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

  1. One of my favorite singer/songwriters, John Waller, wrote the first three lines of this into a song on his debut album. I was captivated by the lines. I love that you found and posted this. It's great to read the original thought!
