WHAT THINK YOU?

By Marcia Field

“Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise Him, all creatures here below!” Thus sweetly sang a maiden fair, Then closed her eyes and bowed in prayer.

One of God’s creatures sings no more, But decks the hat the maiden wore, The tiny form of singing bird, Whose praise will never more be heard.

Think you the maiden’s song of praise A grateful offering to raise To Him who notes the sparrow’s fall, And heeds the ravens when they call?

—Marcia Field, in Boston Evening Transcript.
