Abenezra, in the starry field above...

I see You in the starry field;
I see You in the harvest's yield;
In every breath, in every sound,
An echo of Your name is found.
The blade of grass, the simple flower,
Bear witness to Your matchless power.
In wonder-workings or some bush aflame,
We look for God and fancy You concealed;
But in earth's common things You stand revealed,
While grass and flowers and stars spell out Your name.


Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra (Abenezra)
