Nature's Hymn to the Deity

24 lines
John Clare·1793–1864·Romanticism
✦
ll nature owns with one accordThe great and universal Lord:The sun proclaims him through the day,The moon when daylight drops away,The very darkness smiles to wearThe stars that show us God is there,On moonlight seas soft gleams the skyAnd "God is with us" waves reply. Winds breathe from God's abode "we come,"Storms louder own God is their home,And thunder yet with louder call,Sounds "God is mightiest over all";Till earth right loath the proof to missEchoes triumphantly "He is,"And air and ocean makes reply,God reigns on earth, in air and sky. All nature owns with one accordThe great and universal Lord:Insect and bird and tree and flower--The witnesses of every hour--Are pregnant with his prophesyAnd "God is with us" all reply.The first link in the mighty planIs still--and all upbraideth man.
