SOFT
WHISPERS
As I
lie down on the grass,
And the scented breeze goes on its spree,
As I doze amidst these flowers,
Who is it whispers to me?
And the scented breeze goes on its spree,
As I doze amidst these flowers,
Who is it whispers to me?
As I,
on this noon day
tide,
Seek the cool shade of a tree,
In this stillness far and wide,
Who is it whispers to me?
Seek the cool shade of a tree,
In this stillness far and wide,
Who is it whispers to me?
Far
away in the deep blue sky
The white puffs travel all so free,
And I lie and close my eyes,
Yet who is it whispers to me?
The white puffs travel all so free,
And I lie and close my eyes,
Yet who is it whispers to me?
Then
on a moonlit night so bright,
Softly lighting on the lee,
Gently mocking my daily fight,
Who is it whispers to me?
Softly lighting on the lee,
Gently mocking my daily fight,
Who is it whispers to me?
I
shut my eyes and ears so tight
And then I think that I am free,
Yet He who loves me day and night,
He it is whispers to me.
And then I think that I am free,
Yet He who loves me day and night,
He it is whispers to me.
When
too busy to stop and think,
When I from my tasks do shirk and shrink,
Dear God, give me that I hear your voice
Amidst this world's chaotic noise.
When I from my tasks do shirk and shrink,
Dear God, give me that I hear your voice
Amidst this world's chaotic noise.
That
I, amidst my troubles do always find
A comforting anchor within my mind,
And always guided to eternal peace
By the soft, whispering breeze.
A comforting anchor within my mind,
And always guided to eternal peace
By the soft, whispering breeze.
Two Men Contemplating the Moon -- Caspar David Friedrich
