-----

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

How Great Thou Art - Christian Hymn

"Spring Daffodils" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Favourite Flowers" in "celebration of mother's (it's Mother's day in the UK)".

I used flowers that are the first signs of Spring where I live in the US. Daffodils and Crocuses are the first to appear, and they can survive under snowfall. A few weeks later, Bleeding Hearts start growing, but they can be damaged if frosts, freezing rain, etc. occur.

-----

And the one holds all-seeing light for them on earth,
but the other holds in her arms Sleep the brother of Death,
even evil Night, wrapped in a vaporous cloud.

And there the children of dark Night
have their dwellings,
Sleep and Death, awful gods.
The glowing Sun
never looks upon them with his beams,
neither as he goes up into heaven,
nor as he comes down from heaven.

The Theogony
