SONGS OF THE SOUL



IN ME

  Hello, Yonder Tree!  Thou dost breathe in me, in me;  O Fast-footed River!  Thy shining meandering quiver  Declares itself  Through myself;  Thou dost shine through me, in me.  O Huge Himalaya  With snowy sovereign white regalia!  In my mind doth rest thy throne—    Thy home    In me, in me.  O Ocean! endless to the eye  In boundless stretches thou dost lie;  But to me thou art small:  A tiny drop upon a ball,—  Thou art in me, in me.  O Endless Sky!So vast to eye,—In some brighter age or dayWhen I’ll cast my cares away
