SONGS OF THE SOUL



ONE THAT’S EVERYWHERE

The tree sighs,The wind plays,The sun smiles,The river moves;Feigning dread the sky is blushing redAt the creeping sun’s gentle tread.The earth changes robesOf black and star-lit nightFor dazzling silver light.Dame Nature loves herself t’ arrayIn changing seasons’ colors gay;The murmuring brook e’er tries to tellIn lisping sounds so wellOf the hidden thoughtBy inner spirit brought.The birds aspire to singOf things unknown that swell within.But man first speaks in language trueBoth loud and clear, with meaning new,Of what all else beforeHad failed to full declare:—Of One That’s everywhere.
