You can't understand the wonderful words
Or magical kisses that changed two lives!
What is Nature made for? is it for us
The beautiful world is burnish'd and blent?
If we had not eyes, would blossoms shine thus?
If we had not nostrils, would they have scent?
I heard a philosopher say—in isles
Surrounded by ocean, apart, alone,
With no living creature to reckon miles,
Wherein life had never been born or known,
