“I sought it"

“I sought it in the babbling song of streams

I sought it in the fantasy of dreams;

Disillusioned, I forsook

Seeking it in books,

I could not hear it sung

In the wisdom of the tongue.

In the silence of the hills I rushed to find,

There could not still the clamor in my mind;

Weary with defeat,

I dropped down at His feet.

0 Heart rejoice!

I found it in the Silence of His Voice."
