Poems (Van Vorst)/Love's Universe

by Marie Van Vorst

LOVE'S UNIVERSE

I find in thee fields, valleys, plains, and hills.
Deep tender depths, a forest and a sea.
All that the warm wide Earth with beauty fills
I find in thee.

Each a small part of God's fair world are we,
Each one to a quick pulse of nature thrills
Or mirrors in his soul a mystery.

All sweetness that the summer wind distils,
And all of winter beauty that may be,
All that wakes ecstasy, or calms, or stills,
I find in thee!
