Open Secret

Sidney Henry Morse (1833–1903)

NOT through Nature shineth

Godhead fair and free;

’T is the Heart divineth

What the God must be.

Nature all concealing,

Dim her outer light,

Finite forms revealing,

Not the infinite.

All the Godhead’s planning

Not with striving learn—

Inner eye—Heart scanning—

Sees the God-bush burn.
