Welcome to my secret garden, Lord;
You do not so much enter as pervade,
seeping between the leaves in every glade
and trickling over pathways like a ford.
Like a rich perfume, carelessly outpoured,
that lingers, drifts and does not seem to fade,
or like a loud, impassioned serenade
heard both by passers-by and the adored;
You fall like twilight on the gasping ground
After the unrelenting heat of day.
You drop as imperceptibly as dew,
yet everywhere I sense You, like the sound
of waterfalls, that never dies away.
Here in my garden, Lord, I welcome You.
