GOD IN NATURE 



Down through fields of daisies 



The whispering zephyrs blow. 

 Up through skies of azure 



The lark his song doth sow. 

 North, the rippling river 



Is dreaming of the sea. 

 East, the aisles of maples 



Bespeak solemnity. 

 South, the gentle roses 



Breathe fragrance most divine. 

 West, the sunset artist 



Paints clouds with tints sublime. 



Is not all such beauty 



Both real and true and free? 

 Is it not a symbol 



Of immortality? 

 Yes, the daisy fields are 



Miraculous, divine 

 And the sunset artist — 



He paints in tints so fine 

 Even skillful genius 



Declares his art sublime. 



"God in nature dwelling — " 



Is the secret of the spheres, 

 Hence the soul's rejoicing 



'Mid the passing of the years. 

 So, in temple shadows 



'Neath the pines so dark and tall, 

 Universal anthems 



Sing: — "God is all in all." 



— Frederick Fortunh
