Thrill at his touch. The moon, so lost in thought,

Has pined for love; and wanderers out of hell,

And saints from heaven, have known what I have taught.

Great are my griefs; my joys are multiplex;

And beasts and birds and men my subjects are;

Yea, all created things that have a sex,

And flies and flowers and monsters of the mere;

All these, and more, proclaim me from afar,

And sing my marriage songs from year to year.
