At dusk in the woods,
a gentle rain heard
on the canopy,
fireflies alighting,
peepers croaking,
and the final calls
of the peewee.
This is my Father’s world,
and to my listening ears
All nature sings,
and round me rings
the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees,
of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.
and to my listening ears
