Explore "The Watcher" by Gilbert Parker on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
As the wave to the shore, as the dew to the leaf, / As the breeze to the flower, / As the scent of a rose to the heart of a child, / As the rain to the dusty land -- / My heart goeth out unto Thee -- unto Thee!
The night is far spent and the day is at hand.
As the song of a bird to the call of a star, / As the sun to the eye, / As the anvil of man to the hammers of God, / As the snow to the earth -- / Is my word unto Thy word -- to Thy word!
