NATURE, by                    
First Line: A tiny bud I hold in my hand
Last Line: In the unseen hand of god.
Subject(s): Nature


A tiny bud I hold in my hand
All fashioned with loving care;
The Master Artist each tint had planned --
Each leaf had placed softly there.

The blue of the sky and the sunbeam's gold
He mixed for the green, I know --
Each pointed leaf He shaped like a star,
A star of the long ago.

Life-giving strength came up from the earth
And coursed through the tiny veins --
The breath of life was caught from the winds --
The wine of life from the rains.

And when June brings the flowers and bees,
The buds will be fully blown;
And nestling close in their cosy depths,
The birds will make their home.

The pot of gold at the Rainbow's end
Is the gift of the Golden Rod --
Man feels the pulsings of Nature
In the Unseen Hand of God.
