WHERESOE'ER I turn mine eyes Around on Earth or toward the skies, I see thee in the starry field, I see thee in the harvest's yield, In every breath, in every sound, An echo of Thy name is found. The blade of grass, the simple flower, Bear witness to Thy matchless pow'r. My every thought, Eternal God of Heaven, Ascends to thee, to whom all praise be given. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD A LITTLE HISTORY by DAVID LEHMAN FOR I WILL CONSIDER YOUR DOG MOLLY by DAVID LEHMAN JEWISH GRAVEYARDS, ITALY by PHILIP LEVINE NATIONAL THOUGHTS by YEHUDA AMICHAI SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 2.
