Tall Pine Tree Quilt Block and a Song for Sunday


This Is My Father's World

This is my Father's world,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings,
and found me rings
The music of the spheres.
This is my Father's world:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees,
of skies and seas -
His hand the wonders wrought.

       written by Maltbie D. Babcock (1858-1901) in 1901
