RIVER OF LIFE

As the pure freshness of the melting snowQuickens the wintry woodland to new lifeWith rills innumerable whose crystal flowRipples in secret under last year's leaf,So comes Truth's revelation unto men.

Truth rolls away the heavy stone,Expels the night,Reveals the omnipresent ChristIn dawn-pure light.

The world, once limited, is wideNow as the sky and the sea,It stretches out on every sideIn its immensity.

THE VERY STONES

The need is here.
