THE REVELATION, by                    
First Line: God's revelation of himself may be
Last Line: And in the dawn we see him face to face!
Subject(s): God


God's revelation of Himself may be
Ofttimes within the pages of a book,
But all times and forever in a look
Of hill-tops banked with blue infinity;
Forever in the branches of a tree
That leans in whiteness o'er a summer nook;
In iris plumes where waters turn and crook
And make slim paths of yellow down the lea!

God's skies are wide above an earthly throne;
His stars are candles on the altar there;
His clouds, an incense drifting into space!
His love with every dewy rose is shown;
The violets a kindly message bear;
And in the dawn we see Him face to face!
