THE UNIVERSAL SONG.
The sun in blushing glory comes Along the eastern way, Where rosy hill-tops kiss the sky To advertise the day.
The twinkling stars peep from the blue And tremble in the light Of dying day, and twinkling there, They advertise the night.
The buds that deck the bush and tree And drink the April showers, Lift up their young, insistent heads To advertise the flowers.
The clouds which fill the lowr’ing sky When all the air is warm, Combine with flash and thunder roar To advertise the storm.
The birds which fly o’er hill and vale, And in the brown trees sing When all the earth is bare, have come To advertise the Spring.
All things created, from the stars Down to the humblest clod, Conjoin in Nature’s handiwork To advertise a God. J. W. Lampton
