Excerpt from Sunbeams and Shadows Sunbeams and Shadows To Nature. Wrapt in the silence of oblivion, 'Mid Nature's verdant bowers I love to dwell, As with the ears of mine all-eager soul I listen to her voice of mystic spell. How sweet the murm'ring of her gentle voice As whispering thro' some sylvan nook she comes. How beautiful her warblings in the air! How quaint when in the insect world she hums! Sometimes I find her sleeping neath some ledge, Moss for her pillow, thistle-down her quilt. Pure azure beameth forth from those mild eyes And to disturb her seems to me a guilt. At other times from some moss-covered rock I hear soft music, like fair Sappho's voice, As chimings of a bell, through agate clefts Flow on like pearls, or sparkling brilliants choice. Or should I chance at Eventide to stroll Beside the waters of yon sil'very lake, I see her o'er the rippling wavelets dance And in the dazzling pantomine partake. Nature! If an earthy god I chose, It would be thee that I should then desire, For thou alone canst give to me the enarms Which fill my soul as with Promethean fire.
