'Neath Nature's Cathedral

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

'NEATH the steeple of the fir-trees When the wind is whispering low, And the sky is summer-clouded, Strewn with fleece and bars of snow, Watch the shadows as they flicker 'Mong the sun-kissed turrets there; Hear the feathered singers warble From the choir-loft or stair: First a solo bids, “Be thankful,” Then responses, “Sing to-day,” And the breezes gently murmur, “Pause awhile to praise and pray.”

So in many a cathedral Nature rears, both small and grand, We are bidden to be happy In the blessings close at hand, To adore our blest Creator For his temples 'neath the blue, For our shadows, swiftly passing, And the sunlight gleaming through.
