The Heavens Declare

THE HEAVENS DECLARE
Hast thou heard the song of the heavens, the chorus of innumerable stars?
If thou lie out in the darkness on the bare heath when the music of the wind is at rest, and the murmur of men is very far away; if thou listen with all thy soul, thou shalt hear the song of the heavens.
Thou shalt know that thou art clinging to a little star that is like a mote flying on the storm. And the voices of the mighty shall be about thee.
They shall be singing a great song. They shall overwhelm thee with harmony.
The Spirit of Man lifteth up her voice in the chorus. There were not harmony without her.
Thou shalt hear her song rising beside thee as it were the song of a child; but the voices of the mighty shall overwhelm thee even from the heavens that lie beyond thy sight.
The purport of the singing thou shalt not understand; but thy soul shall be filled with music.
