Tuned to some light song of pleasure.

Maidens, let your brows be crowned

As we foot this merry round.

From the ground a voice is singing,

From the sod a soul is springing.

Who shall say 't is but a clod

Quick'ning upward toward its God?

Who shall say it? Who may know it,

That the clod is not a poet

Waiting but a gleam to waken
