Or west winds, whispering to the tall pine trees,

Waken his soul to wonder; or he sees

In some first fairness when the day is new,

In some dear dimness i' the time o' the dew,

A loveliness that steals about his heart,

And lays soft fingers on dumb chords that start.

Then he uprises joyously and binds

His poet's robes upon him, yea, he finds

This drear existence a most glorious thing

And sings because he cannot choose but sing.
