The Trees Of Life

For those who worship Thee there is no death, For all they do is but with Thee to dwell; Now while I take from Thee this passing breath, It is but of thy glorious name to tell; Nor words nor measured sounds have I to find, But in them both my soul doth ever flow; They come as viewless as the unseen wind, And tell thy noiseless steps where'er I go; The trees that grow along thy living stream, And from its springs refreshment ever drink, Forever glittering in thy morning beam They bend them o'er the river's grassy brink And as more high and wide their branches grow They look more fair within the depths below.
