From out the darkness of the night,
As wakening thought gropes for the Light,
A voice responsive, sweet and low,
Bids hope with brighter radiance glow.
I am the ever-present Life,
With power and peace and beauty rife.
In Love the heavens and earth I span:—
These are my thoughts revealed to man.
Each thought of good secure I hold,
'Tis mine reflected to unfold;
Impelled by Life's unceasing force,
It moves in ever onward course.
Hue, color, form, —all I impart,
With living grace and loving art,
To streams that laugh and never sigh,
To flowers that bloom nor ever die.
The pure in heart alone may see,
Sweet nature's face reflecting me.—
