TO NATURE by EMMA O. FINNEY

First Line: WHEN I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
Last Line: GOD DWELLS.

When I look into your eyes,
I feel the mystic, dreamy, subtle charm
Of a wonder world.
I sense the muse of the woodland nymphs,
The moods and ecstasies of angel realms,
And the delight of busy fairy hands.
I see love clothed in radiant forms,
Myriad-colored cloaks of celestial splendor --
Shining garbs of true realities
Untouched by man's much thinking;
While the softer tones of your winged lyre
Border in pastel shades a path you've made
To the ever-flowing fount of truth,
Of wisdom, and of life abundant, free --
Beckoning me on to quaff
Of the naked bliss of eternity,
Where in His fullness
God dwells.
