Law

How have I loved    your laws and decrees

and your Sun       in the dawn of the morning

the orders that govern       the universe

and their rulings       the cosmos adorning

 

So finely tuned      a precise instrument

it's crafting       can no journeyman match

construction supreme      no man has surpassed

nor it's equal       can he ever attach

 

You have hidden       their rules and movements

that a man could spend           a lifetime to seek

but the years we're given       have been shorted

and our will            to regulation is weak

 

Its decrees            are woven like fabric

on each writ      does another rely

their sequence                 framed like a template 

against its power       can no man defy

 

Its display               of symmetry  exacting

it's direction          none living can change

through its pursuit          our knowledge deepens

but it's only simile              can we arrange

 

Like flocks             are the stars conducted

as their shepherds            your laws do act 

like the canon of statues             their placement

their governing             by decrees you enact

 

No man                can act as its counselor

or rearrange           its charge and command

for all that's demonstrated            in nature

for all are subject           to what law demands

 

By their study            we learn how to measure

like a child           the paths of all law

to investigate              all time and reasons

of its operation           we can all stand in awe
