THE
VOICE OF THE GRASS
Sarah
Roberts Boyle
[1812-1869]
Here I come creeping, creeping
everywhere;
By the
dusty roadside, On the sunny
hillside, Close by the noisy
brook, In
every shady nook, I come creeping, creeping
everywhere.
Here
I come creeping, smiling
everywhere; All round the open
door, Where here sit the aged
poor; Here where the children
play, In
the bright and merry
May, I come creeping, creeping
everywhere.
Here I come creeping, creeping
everywhere; In the noisy city
street My
pleasant face you'll
meet, Cheering the sick at
heart Toiling his busy
part, - Silently creeping, creeping
everywhere.
Here I come creeping,
creeping
everywhere; You cannot see me
coming, Nor hear my low sweet
humming; For in the starry
night, And the
glad morning light, I come quietly creeping everywhere.
Here I come creeping, creeping
everywhere; More welcome than the
flowers In summer's pleasant
hours; The gentle cow is
glad, And the
merry bird not sad,
To see me creeping, creeping
everywhere.
Here
I come creeping, creeping
everywhere; When you're numbered with the
dead In your still and narrow
bed, In the happy spring I'll
come And
deck your silent home,
- Creeping, silently creeping
everywhere.
Here I come creeping, creeping
everywhere; My humble song of
praise Most joyfully I
raise To Him at whose
command I beautify the
land, Creeping, silently creeping
everywhere.
