Peaceful Tones

The colored leaves,

That spill the sun,

The waters clear,

That flow as one.

We see Him there,

And vanish groans,

In silent songs,

And peaceful tones.

So close to earth!

So bare the sight!

And not in words,

But through the light.

But more to my view,

As the great vision grew,

Were the faces so bright,

Of the children of light.

And in the great waters,

We hear His soft voice,

Speaking great things,

And our spirits rejoice.
