LXV

By Bliss Carman

Softly the wind moves through the radiant morning,

And the warm sunlight sinks into the valley,

Filling the green earth with a quiet joyance,

Strength, and fulfilment.

Even so, gentle, strong and wise and happy,

Through the soul and substance of my being,

Comes the breath of thy great love to me-ward,

O thou dear mortal.
