Aurora Leigh?

I heard a quote this weekend from one of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poems but I'm not sure which one; if you know, please tell me.

"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."

I'm still pondering it but I really like it.
