THE BUSH THAT BURNED, by                    
First Line: He stood beside a bush that burned
Last Line: Softly and sweetly speaking to me.
Subject(s): Goths; Roderick, King Of The Visigoths (d. 711)


He stood beside a bush that burned,
And listened to a wondrous sound,
"Take the shoes from off thy feet,
For where thou standest is holy ground."

There's a bush that burns in my own backyard
And lo, from the fire of that autumn-drest tree
I often have heard the voice of my God,
Softly and sweetly speaking to me.
