Poem – a day in the life of an atom

The promised hour has struck
The shrilling Pen was heard
Creation has been shaken
The mysteries stand revealed

All atoms of the earth
Vibrating for His love
All atoms of the earth
Vibrating to His call

Carmel, this spot was chosen
Snow-white for all time
Blessed by a holy countenance
Seat of the Throne of God

All atoms of the earth
Vibrating for His love
All atoms of the earth
Vibrating to His call

Camped beneath the trees
Laying the foundation
Imprinted for all ages
The footsteps of the Lord

All atoms of the earth
Vibrating for His love
All atoms of the earth
Vibrating to His call

Swirling throngs of Prophets
Circling round their Lord
All beings are heard rejoicing
At the presence of their Lord

All atoms of the earth
Vibrating for His love
All atoms of the earth
Vibrating to His call

Raised from earth to heaven
Calling to all things
“The Hidden One is here!
His splendor stands revealed.”

All atoms of the earth
Vibrating for His love
All atoms of the earth
Vibrating to His call

The tears that shed like rain
The sighing of this Youth
Forever seeds will grow
The Wronged One is avenged!

All atoms of the earth
Vibrating for His love
All atoms of the earth
Vibrating to His call

The Ark is sailing high
The glad-tidings proclaimed
From every spot and from each city
Stream the people of Bahá
