Meditation for the Month

by William L. Stidger

I saw God wash the world last night

with his sweet showers on high;

and then, when morning came, I saw

Him hang it out to dry.

He washed each tiny blade of grass

and every trembling tree.

He flung His showers against the hill

and swept the billowing sea.

The white rose is a cleaner white;

the red rose is more red;

since God washed every fragrant face

and put them all to bed.

There's not a bird, there's not a bee,

that wings along the way,

but is a cleaner bird and bee

than it was yesterday.

I saw God wash the world last night.

Ah, would He had washed me

as clean of all my dust and dirt

as that old white bird tree.
