OMNIPRESENCE

BLANCHE BLOOR SCHLEPPEY.

I may not know the breath that thrills the trees,
Nor whose the touch that gives the grass its green,
Nor how it is the snowflake gets its sheen,
And why the rain-cloud woos the southern breeze.
I cannot cull the nectar of the bees;
The ocean's throbbing life I have not seen;
I cannot read the notes of song-birds e'en,
Nor understand the starry mysteries.

The breadth of time it is not mine to span,
Nor measure to the heights of sun and air;
My brother's secret soul I cannot scan.
I only know that truth and love are fair,
And thus I guess the universal plan—
That God is Love, and Love is everywhere.
