"Let there be light" Final line - Does anyone know what he was taking about?

Hi all! Brand new on here but thought i'd jump in and ask a question.

Does anyone possibly know what D.H Lawrence was referring / alluding to in the final line of the poem "Let there be Light" from Chapters Into Verse? He goes from talking about how the creation of the earth was a farce to "George Washington's Grandpapa" as a closing statement. I'm unsure about whether this was a comical tool to highlight the perceived absurdity that heaven / God was real or it had some other meaning.

Thanks so much in advance!

I've not read anything by D. H. Lawrence, but surely someone on LitNet has, and can answer your question, or at least discuss it with you.
