VII.

I know the meaning now of all the signs,

And all the joys I dreamt of in my dreams.

I realise the comfort of the streams

When they reflect the shadows of the pines.

I know that there is hope for celandines,

And that a tree is merrier than it seems.

VIII.

I know the mighty hills have much to tell;

And that they quake, at times, in undertone,
