Explore "Matins (of Skies and Seasons)" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Flowers rejoice when night is done, / Lift their heads to greet the sun; / Sweetest looks and odours raise, / In a silent hymn of praise.
So my heart would turn away / From the darkness to the day; / Lying open in God's sight / Like a flower in the light.
