Subject(s): Universe


I climb the majestic mountain to its summit.
There I stand rapt in wonderment
At the beauty and splendor of the cerulean sky
While cumulus and cirrus clouds gambol at my feet.
I turn toward the setting sun
And watch her robe of crimson luster
Drop behind the western slope.
Soon the low hanging duplicate horn Moon,
Venus, Orion, the Pleiades and Milky Way
Dot the dome of heaven with diamond gems.
Enthralled by such enchanting beauty
We exclaim with the Psalmist of old:
"The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament showeth his handiwork."
