SEE this snappy little spark
Flashing pertly in the dark;
Coming with its sudden gleam
Out from nowhere, it would seem;
Glowing here against the shade,
Fire unkindled, light unmade,
Brother to the bolt’s fierce blow
And the driving dynamo.
Here is hid the mystery,
Mayhap, of the land and sea.
All creation’s story may
Hide within this flashing ray.
Light, and heat, and force it holds;
Boundless energy unfolds;
Tells the secret, if we find it,
Of the God who stands behind it.
