15. A serious mistake

```

O earth, you thought

You had possessed me

And I would please you

In your own human way.

Better late than never,

You have realised

That it was a serious mistake.

O earth, I thought

I had transformed you

And you would please me

In my own divine way.

Better late than never,

I have realised

That it was a serious mistake.
