A Firemist and a Planet
Author: William Herbert Carruth, 1859-1924 Hymnal: SLT1993 #343 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Person Name: William Herbert Carruth, 1859-1924 Lyrics: 1 A firemist and a planet,
a crystal and a cell,
a starfish and a saurian,
and caves where ancients dwelt;
the sense of law and beauty,
a face turned from the sod —
some call it evolution,
and others call it God.
2 Haze on the far horizon,
the infinite tender sky,
the ripe, rich tints of cornfields,
and wild geese sailing high;
and over high and lowland,
the charm of goldenrod —
some people call it autumn,
and others call it God.
3 Like tides on crescent sea-beach,
when moon’s so new and thin,
into our hearts high yearnings
come welling, surging in,
come from the mystic ocean
whose rim no foot has trod —
some people call it longing,
and others call it God.
4 A sentry lone and frozen,
a mother starved for her brood,
and Socrates’ dread hemlock,
and Jesus on the rood;
and millions, who, though nameless,
the straight, hard pathway trod —
some call it consecration,
and others call it God. Topics: Humanist Teachings Insight and Wisdom; Autumn and Harvest; Commitment; Evolution; God, Goddess, and Spirit; Jesus; Spirituality and Spiritual Growth Languages: English Tune Title: NEW ENGLAND

I Sought the Wood in Summer
Author: Willa Cather, 1893-1947 Hymnal: SLT1993 #328 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Person Name: Willa Cather, 1893-1947 Lyrics: 1 I sought the wood in summer
when every twig was green;
the rudest boughs were tender,
and buds were pink between.
Light-fingered aspens trembled
in fitful sun and shade,
and daffodils were golden
in every starry glade.
2 “How frail a thing is Beauty,”
I said, “when every breath
she gives the vagrant summer
but swifter woos her death.
For this the star dust troubles,
for this have ages rolled:
to deck the wood for bridal
and slay her with the cold.”
3 I sought the wood in winter
when every leaf was dead;
behind the wind-whipped branches
the winter sun was red.
The birches, white and slender,
in breathless marble stood,
the brook, a white immortal,
slept silent in the wood.
4 “How sure a thing is Beauty,”
I cried. “No bolt can slay,
nor wave nor shock despoil her,
nor ravishers dismay.
The granite hills are slighter,
the sea more like to fail,
behind the rose the planet,
the Law behind the veil.” Topics: Humanist Teachings Beauty, Truth, and Goodness; Seasons and Cycles; Summer; Winter Languages: English Tune Title: MERLE'S TUNE

It Is Something to Have Wept
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: SLT1993 #5 (1993) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Person Name: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 First Line: It is something to have wept as we have wept Lyrics: 1 It is something to have wept as we have wept,
and something to have done as we have done;
it is something to have watched when all have slept,
and seen the stars which never see the sun.
2 It is something to have smelt the mystic rose,
although it break and leave the thorny rods;
it is something to have hungered once as those
must hunger who have ate the bread of gods:
3 To have known the things that from the weak are furled,
the fearful ancient passions, strange and high;
it is something to be wiser than the world,
and something to be older than the sky.
4 Lo, and blessed are our ears for they have heard:
yea, blessed are our eyes for they have seen:
let the thunder break on human, beast, and bird,
and lightning. It is something to have been. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The Celebration of Life; Integrity; Spirituality and Spiritual Growth; Wisdom and Understanding Languages: English Tune Title: KEITH

When Mary through the Garden Went
Author: Mary Coleridge, 1861-1907 Hymnal: SLT1993 #267 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Person Name: Mary Coleridge, 1861-1907 Lyrics: 1 When Mary through the garden went,
there was no sound of any bird,
and yet, because the night was spent,
the little grasses lightly stirred,
the flowers awoke, the lilies heard.
2 When Mary through the garden went,
the dew lay still on flower and grass,
the waving palms above her sent
their fragrance out as she did pass.
No light upon their branches was.
3 When Mary through the garden went,
her eyes, for weeping long, were dim.
The grass beneath her footsteps bent,
the solemn lilies, white and slim,
these also stood and wept for him. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Easter; Good Friday and Palm Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: WAS GOTT THUT
