This poem is based on Psalm 19:2-6.
Each day gushes forth speech, —
   and every night lectures, —
of the God we fearlessly preach, —
   He whom all creation pictures.
Not a single creature refrains a word
   from speaking about their Creator.
He is sung about by every bird;
   the sun is His commentator.
He causes each to rise in the morning
   with the joy of a bridegroom
over his wife adoring
   with a love in full bloom.
Its testimony is as sure as the dawn;
   the day’s praise can never cease
as the sun heats up your lawn
   with the bristling of the leaves.
