Lo, the poor Indian, whose untutored mind
Sees God in the clouds and hears Him in the wind.
--Pope.

Within the wind, my untaught ear
The voice of Deity can hear,
And in the fleeting cloud discern
His movements, vast and taciturn;
For in the universe I trace
The wondrous grandeur of His face.

I see him in each blade of grass,
Each towering peak and mountain pass;
Each forest, river, lake and fen
Reveals the God of worlds and men;
His works of wisdom prove to me,
A wise, creative Deity.

[The end]
Alfred Castner King's poem: As The Indian
