Ive listened: and all the sounds I heard
Were music,wind, and stream, and bird.
With youth who sang from hill to hill
Ive listened: my heart is hungry still.
Ive looked: the morning world was green;
Bright roofs and towers of town Ive seen;
And stars, wheeling through wingless night.
Ive looked: and my soul yet longs for light.
Ive thought: but in my sense survives
Only the impulse of those lives
That were my making. Hear me say
Ive thought!and darkness hides my day.
