Poem
A Child's Thought of God
Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
They say that God lives very high; But if you look above the pines You cannot see our God; and why? And if you dig down in the mines, You never see Him in the gold, Though from Him all that’s glory shines. God is so good, He wears a fold Of heaven and earth across His face, Like secrets kept, for love, untold. But still I feel that His embrace Slides down by thrills, through all things made, Through sight and sound of every place; As if my tender mother laid On my shut lids her kisses’ pressure, Half waking me at night, and said, “Who kissed you through the dark, dear guesser?”
