Subject(s): Nature - Religious Aspects
A jagged line of trees in grayish green
That scratch the sky and errant clouds that pass
And waver in the wind; a subtle mass
Of shifting shades that stir as lone winds lean
To whisper of a beauty past a queen;
A slender strip of shining fresh-sprung grass,
Where uncaught dew, elusive fairy glass,
Lies mirroring the sun; All these are seen
As man towards the mountain turns his eyes
And thinks so soft it is that by his hand
The trees would break and emptiness would fill
The place the mountain held: these thoughts are lies,
For underneath the softness, ages stand,
In repetition of the theme,—God's Will.
