SONNET, by                    
First Line: And thou art one -- one with th' eternal hills
Last Line: "god in our creeds doth dwell and not in these?"


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?"
