The sweet, small tumults amid the trees;

And many a message comes to me

On the wing of bird, in the hum of bee,

From the mountain peak and the surging sea.

E’en the silence speaks a voice so clear,

I lean my very heart to hear,

And all above me and all around

Light and darkness and sight and sound,

To soul and sense such meanings bring,

I thrill with a rapturous wondering.
