To dream where silence sleeps A sorrow's sleep that sighs; Where all heaven's azure peeps Blue from one wildflower's eyes

Where, in reflecting deeps,— Of cloudier woods and skies,— Another gray world lies. Divining God from things

Humble as weeds and bees; From songs the free bird sings Learn all are vain but these; In light-delighted springs,

Wise, star-familiar trees, Seek love's philosophies.
