Subject(s): Love


Now I know why ivy
Climbs against the wall
Striving to be graceful,
Greener and more tall.

Now I see why swallows
Sweep across the sky
In their swift excitement,
Shrilling as they fly.

Now I hear all music says;
The stream's low murmuring.
Now I know why gardens grow
And birds forever sing.

All of earth and heaven,
God's grandeur, with the rest,
I glimpse in flashing worship
While I lie against your breast.
