Epiphany

Topics: classic

There is nothing that eases my heart so much     As the wind that blows from the purple hills;     'Tis a hand of balsam whose healing touch     Unburdens my bosom of ills.     There is nothing that causes my soul to rejoice     Like the sunset flaming without a flaw:     'Tis a burning bush whence God's own voice     Addresses my spirit with awe.     There is nothing that hallows my mind, meseems,     Like the night with its moon and its stars above;     'Tis a mystical lily whose golden gleams     Fulfill my being with love.     There is nothing, no, nothing, we see and feel,     That speaks to our souls some beautiful thought,     That was not created to help us, and heal     Our lives that are overwrought.
