REVELATION by VERNE BRIGHT

First Line: ALL THINGS BURN WITH THE FIRE OF GOD
Last Line: ALL THINGS BURN WITH GOD'S WHITE FIRE.
Subject(s): GOD;
All things burn with the fire of God—
Violets bursting from the sod;
The hill-top, tip-toe cherry tree,
Shouting with silver ecstasy;
Wild birds blowing down the wind;
Blue-brook music far and thinned;
Many-hued roses; rains that beat
On spreading fields of yellow wheat;
Sun-flame, moon-flame, flame of star;
Opal-walled heaven where bright clouds are;
Dreams, and pain, and love's desire....
All things burn with God's white fire.
