SONGS OF THE SOUL


The lark, the cuckoo, the pheasant sweet,The deer, the lamb, the lion great,The shark and monsters of the sea!In love and peace all greeted me.
The leafy fingers, arms outspread,Caressed me when a tiny bird,And fed me with ambrosial fruitThat drew its life from immortal root.
When atoms and the star-dust sprang,When Vedas, Bible, Koran sang,—I joined each choir; their long-past thrilling songsStill echo in my soul in accents strong.
