I HEARD His voice in song of wren
Beneath the hedge at daybreak, when
The dew like diamonds gleams.
I heard His voice in bubbling rills
That tumbled down the verdant hills,
To swell the sea-ward streams.
I heard His voice in whisp'ring breeze,
That gleaned the secret of the trees
And conned the flowers' dreams.
I heard His voice when squirrels woke
And dropped an acorn from the oak
And whisked their bushy tails.
I heard His voice when Curly Locks
Drove forth to bathe her feathered flocks,
And Meg cleaned out the pails.
I heard His voice when belfry tower
In lazy notes struck noonday hour
And cattle shirked the sun.
I heard His voice when nine was tolled
And all the sheep had gone to fold,
And bleated day was done.
I heard His voice as midnight crept
'With murky steps o'er men that slept—
Some pillowed 'neath the sod.
Yes, even in that silent hour
I heard in full majestic power
The mighty voice of God.
