Into the sunshine, full of light, Leaping and flashing from morn till night; Into the moonlight, whiter than snow, Waving so flower-like when the winds blow. Into the starlight, rushing in spray, Happy at midnight, happy by day; Ever in motion, blithesome and cheery, Still climbing heavenwards, never aweary. Glad of all weathers, still seeming best, Upward or downward motion thy rest; Ceaseless aspiring, ceaseless content, Darkness or sunshine thy element; Full of nature nothing can tame, Changed every moment, ever the same: Glorious fountain! let my heart be Fresh, changeful, constant, upward, like thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HER MERRIMENT by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES THE BEGGAR'S HOLIDAY, FR.
