IN FLOWERY FIELDS.

By MARY HARRISON.

Ye flowers in your wonderful silence,Ye birds with your wonderful sound,The love of my God are declaring;For ye are the language he found.Ye smile to the eye of my spirit,Ye sing to the ear of my soul;Ye waken soft echoes of anthemsWhich over God’s Paradise roll.Ye bloom as ye bloomed once in Eden,Make holy and sacred the sod;Ye sing as you sang when in raptureMan counted you angels of God.By you—common things of the desert—God’s love has this miracle wrought:Ye fill me with exquisite gladness,With worship which silences thought.—London Sunday Magazine.

Ye flowers in your wonderful silence,

Ye birds with your wonderful sound,

The love of my God are declaring;

For ye are the language he found.

Ye smile to the eye of my spirit,Ye sing to the ear of my soul;Ye waken soft echoes of anthemsWhich over God’s Paradise roll.

Ye smile to the eye of my spirit,

Ye sing to the ear of my soul;

Ye waken soft echoes of anthems

Which over God’s Paradise roll.

Ye bloom as ye bloomed once in Eden,Make holy and sacred the sod;Ye sing as you sang when in raptureMan counted you angels of God.

Ye bloom as ye bloomed once in Eden,

Make holy and sacred the sod;

Ye sing as you sang when in rapture

Man counted you angels of God.

By you—common things of the desert—God’s love has this miracle wrought:Ye fill me with exquisite gladness,With worship which silences thought.—London Sunday Magazine.

By you—common things of the desert—

Ye fill me with exquisite gladness,

With worship which silences thought.
