Africa
Now shall my inward joys arise
And burst into a song;
Almighty love inspires my heart
and pleasure tunes my tongue.
God on His Thirsty Zion's hill,
Some mercy drops has thrown;
And solemn oaths have bound His love
To show'r salvation down.
Why do we then indulge our fears,
Suspicions and complaints?
Is He a God , and shall His grace
Grow weary of His saints?
There Is A June
There is a June when Corn is cut
And Roses in the Seed-
A summer briefer than the first
But tenderer indeed
As should a Face supposed the Grave’s
Emerge a single Noon
In the Vermilion that it wore
Affect us and return -
Two Seasons, it is said, exist –
The Summer of the Just, and this of Ours, diversified
With Prospect, and with Frost –
May not our Second with its First
So infinite compare
That We but recollect the one
The other to prefer?

April
The roofs are shining from the rain
The roofs are shining from the rain
The sparrows twitter, twitter, twitter as they fly
And with a windy, windy, April grace- the little clouds go by.
Yet the backyards are bare, bare and brown.
Yet the backyards are bare, bare and brown.
With only one unchanging, one unchanging tree
I could not be so sure,
so sure of spring,
so sure I could not be,
save that it sings
save that it sings
save that it sings in me,
save that it sings in me.
Sings in me.

O Lord, my God
I pray that these things never end
The sand and the sea, the rush of the waters, the crash of the heavens,
the prayer of the earth
