From "A PRELUDE"

O COVERING grasses! O unchanging trees!

Is it not good to feel the odorous wind

Come down upon you with such harmonies

Only the giant hills can ever find?

O little leaves, are ye not glad to be?

Is not the sunlight fair, the shadow kind,

That falls at noontide over you and me?

O gleam of birches lost among the firs,

Let your high treble chime in silverly
