the creation by James Weldon Johnson. And God stepped out on space and he looked around and said, I'm lonely, I'll make me a world And as far as the Eye of God could see, darkness covered everything blacker than 100 Midnight's down in the Cypress Swamp. Then God smiled and the light broke and the darkness rolled up on one side and the light stood shining on the other. And God said, That's good. Then God reached out and took the light in his hands and got rolled the light around in his hands until he made the sun. And he said, that son of blazing in the heavens and then the light that was left from making the sun God gather it up in a shining ball and flooding against the darkness, spending the night with moon and stars. Then down between the darkness and the light, he hurled the world, and God said, That's good. Then God himself stepped down and the sun was on his right hand and the moon was on his left. The stars were clustered about his head and the earth was under his feet and God walked and where he trod hiss footsteps, hollowed out the valleys and bowls the mountains up. Then he stopped and looked and saw that the Earth was hot and barren. So God stepped over to the edge of the world and he spat out the seven seas. He bettered his eyes and the lightning flashed. He clapped his hands and the thunder's rolled in. The waters above the earth came down. The cooling waters came down.
