The Winds Of God

"Referring to the angels He says,

God Who makes His angels winds

and His ministering servants flames of fire."

Hebrews 1:7

Across the azure spaces,

Athwart the vasts of sky,

With winnowings of mighty wings

The winds of God go by.

Above the meres and mountains,

With unseen sandals shod,

Above the plains, with choric strains,

Sweep by the winds of God.

"Peace-in His name!" they murmur;

"Peace-in His name!" they cry.

Oh, men, give ear! Do you not hear

The winds of God go by?
