LYRICS.

THE BREATHING EARTH.

Oн, not by sight or sound alone, I guess

This

her light feet press,
way
Light feet of Spring!

[ocr errors]

It would be told me, though I shut my eyes

Against the ample sky's

Pure witnessing,

And saw not how the green blade thrusts its

Up through the pleached gray,

No tenderling!

It would be told me, though I shut my ear
To all the tidings clear

Her heralds bring,

The fluting thrush, the bluebird singing love,

Hiding in heaven above

His heaven-dyed wing.

How, sight and sound shut out, should I still

This way her light feet press,

Light feet of Spring?

way
