Pursed lips on a syrinx at play.

So, ho! for the rose, the Romeo rose,

And the lyric it hides in its heart!

And, oh, for the epic the oak-tree knows,

Sonorous as Homer in art!

And it's ho! for the prose of the weed that grows

Green-writing Earth's commonest part!—

What God may propose let us learn of those,

The songs and the dreams that start

In the heart of each blossom that blows.
