Dark forest, mountain, the o’erarching wheel

Of heaven’s solemn turning, all the old

Immeasurable air and boundless sea—

Yields of its life, builds life and strength in me

For tasks to come, while I but see and feel,

And merely am, and it is joy to be.

Lo, that small spark within us is not blind

To its beginning; struck from one vast soul

Which, in the framework of the world, doth bind

All parts together; small, but still agreeing
