And Thou art One—One with th' eternal hills, And with the flaming stars, and with the moon, Translucent, cold. The sentinel of noon That clothes the sky in robes of light and fills The earth with warmth, the flowering fields, the rills, The waving trees, the south wind's elfin rune, Are One with Thee. All nature is in tune With Thee, O Father, God—and if one wills To humbly walk the fragrant, leaf-strewn path And kneel in reverence 'neath the vaulted sky, Hearing the hymnals of the waving trees And prayers of the soughing winds—what hath He less of heaven in him than we, who cry, "God in our creeds doth dwell and not in these?" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON A FAIR BEGGAR by PHILIP AYRES OLNEY HYMNS: 18.
