Far off, gray-purple of the woods warming to life;

The clouds floating—O so full of light and blessing, that I think they live and love,

Or truly that they are beautiful veils, not all hiding that which lives and loves!

Morning, and April,

And on the far-away road, hither leading, the road but now gray with the cloud-shadow,

The gleam travels.

Hitherward the gleam travels;

Behind it lies the gray shadow on the hill.

O life immense! O love unspeakable! O large To-day!

O moment of utterance given to me (the shadow too travels),
