Si Parva Licet Componere Magnis

IN the bowl of a shell Sings the wonderful song of the sea, All the ebb and the swell, In the bowl of a shell.

In the heart of a pool Drifts the fathomless smile of the sky, All the clouds white and cool, In the heart of a pool.

In the beam of a star Shines the light of a far away world, Out of space, dim and far, In the beam of a star.

In the cup of a rose Dwells the languor and passion of June, Eager life, warm repose, In the cup of a rose.

In the throat of a bird Lives the message of God to His earth, Lo! the mystical word In the throat of a bird!
