Matins

Title:     Matins
Author: Henry Van Dyke [More Titles by Van Dyke]

Flowers rejoice when night is done,
Lift their heads to greet the sun;
Sweetest looks and odours raise,
In a silent hymn of praise.

So my heart would turn away
From the darkness to the day;
Lying open in God's sight
Like a flower in the light.

[The end]
Henry Van Dyke's poem: Matins
