English poem
This tiny life, with exquisite wings...
by Theodore H. Rand (1835–1900)
This tiny life, with exquisite wings . . . . . . . . Is one with all earth's moving things; The light that burns in great Arcturus Is tinct with gold of our wedding rings.
In every fibre, every jot, The universe is one, I wot Great God, Thou'rt One, and we Thy offspring Can see some angles of Thy wide thought.
Thy footprints mark the ageless years, Thy hand authenticates the spheres; The voice of Time, the hush eternal, One anthem sound in Thy listening ears.
