what wonders in this world untold
unfold as rose’s petals do
or as the clouds in changing hue
fill earth with mystic magic spewed
as from a wizard’s fairy wand
spouts founts of stardust o’er the land
those blazing trails like meteor’s tails
eons of light that burn the skies
supernal glow defying night
eternal lamps in lovers’ eyes
that are as warm as they are bright
that reach so far in dual flight;
what wonders yet are here untold
if all myst’ry thine eyes unfold?
can i call thee the wind that blows
that light and gently stirs leaves of trees?
perhaps thou art the mighty Sol
with tender strength that warms the earth;
or should i say thou art the rain
that nourishes earth’s grassy plains?
thou art perchance the moon demure
that flirts with earth with soft allure?
art thou the stars that flicker bright,
lamps burning endless through the night?
or else thou art the ocean wide,
the timeless flow of ebb and tide;
thou art the force in all the earth
indeed, and all the earth is me.
how strange! this ringing in my ears
that sings of melodies so sweet
a full night passed into new dawn
and as the birds burst into song
this flighty heart does sing along
it soars and glides and floats as birds
as light and wing’d it spins and flies
across lapis lazuli skies
and gently ever through the clouds
like golden leaves in autumn falling
twisting, turning, lightly twirling
nestling in thy breast and resting.
and though a million dawns may come
my heart shall live to share their songs.
