Plucking Blackberries

Earth’s 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
The fruit, not the phone. :)

Today I was looking for the source of this quote, which was used in a sermon by G. Campbell Morgan 100 years ago but not cited. I suppose he thought everyone would know it. Thanks for the clue.
