I Went Out At Dawn

I went out at Dawn.
Light met me and said: "Walk with me.
      See through my eyes how love
      makes all things holy."
I saw, and my heart was filled with
      a trembling joy.

I crossed a meadow and the wind
      caught my hand and playfully
      tugged my hair, saying:
"Come dance with me, for life is a celebration.
      Dance! Come, dance!"
And we danced with the leaves and
      the flowers.

I came to a quiet wood by a gentle
      stream, out of breath from the
      dance, and thought:
"I forgot to pray. I must make my prayer."

There was laughter in the foliage
      all around, a chuckle from the stream,
      and from some bird unseen, but near,
      a reassuring trill--
"To walk with light, to dance for joy,
      to love--oh, most of all to love!
      ---is the heart of prayer.
