Give to me the gospel of the fields and woods,
The sermons written in the book of books;
The sweet communion of the things on earth
Fresh with the warm baptism of the sun;
Give me the offertory of bud and bloom,
The perfect caroling of happy birds;
Give me the creed of one of God's fair days
Wrought in the beauty of its loveliness;
And then the benediction of the starts,
His eloquent ministers of the night.
-Ravenscroft
