And weave its petals in a simple rhyme,

So you could hear the bells of springtime chime

And you could see the flower soul

in them—

Or else, we’ll say, a magpie on the limb,

Greeting the sunrise with its matin song—

To catch the music as it floats along,

And link its spirit to a bush-child’s hymn.

Or, if—but then the limitations rise,

Like barriers across the mental plain,
