An Exaltation
to the Creator
A star lies upon the seaside,
Carried thither by the tide;
Foamy waters wax and wane;
No one can their course restrain.
Horizon borders azure sky;
Fleecy clouds drift on breezes high;
Turquoise waves caress the isle,
Warmed by sunlight’s golden smile.
List to the song the zephyrs bring--
The leaves are rustling--the needles sing!
Ocean and trees in harmony sweet
Worship their Maker in anthem complete.
May we, as nature, exalt Thee with praise;
Let us be joyful, all of our days;
’Til someday in heaven we gaze on that shore,
Where sorrows are ended--forevermore!

our dear Aunt Lynn, May 20, 1996
