Spake full well in language quaint and olden	A
One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine	B
When he called the flowers so blue and golden	A
Stars that in earth's firmament do shine	B
	-
Stars they are wherein we read our history	C
As astrologers and seers of eld	D
Yet not wrapped about with awful mystery	C
Like the burning stars which they beheld	D
	-
Wondrous truths and manifold as wondrous	E
God hath written in those stars above	F
But not less in the bright flowerets under us	E
Stands the revelation of his love	F
	-
Bright and glorious is that revelation	A
Written all over this great world of ours	G
Making evident our own creation	A
In these stars of earth these golden flowers	G
	-
And the Poet faithful and far seeing	H
Sees alike in stars and flowers a part	D
Of the self same universal being	H
Which is throbbing in his brain and heart	D
	-
Gorgeous flowerets in the sunlight shining	H
Blossoms flaunting in the eye of day	D
Tremulous leaves with soft and silver lining	H
Buds that open only to decay	D
	-
Brilliant hopes all woven in gorgeous tissues	I
Flaunting gayly in the golden light	D
Large desires with most uncertain issues	I
Tender wishes blossoming at night	D
	-
	-
These in flowers and men are more than seeming	H
Workings are they of the self same powers	G
Which the Poet in no idle dreaming	H
Seeth in himself and in the flowers	G
	-
Everywhere about us are they glowing	H
Some like stars to tell us Spring is born	J
Others their blue eyes with tears o'er flowing	H
Stand like Ruth amid the golden corn	J
	-
Not alone in Spring's armorial bearing	H
And in Summer's green emblazoned field	D
But in arms of brave old Autumn's wearing	H
In the centre of his brazen shield	D
	-
Not alone in meadows and green alleys	K
On the mountain top and by the brink	L
Of sequestered pools in woodland valleys	K
Where the slaves of nature stoop to drink	L
	-
Not alone in her vast dome of glory	C
Not on graves of bird and beast alone	M
But in old cathedrals high and hoary	C
On the tombs of heroes carved in stone	M
	-
In the cottage of the rudest peasant	D
In ancestral homes whose crumbling towers	G
Speaking of the Past unto the Present	D
Tell us of the ancient Games of Flowers	G
	-
In all places then and in all seasons	N
Flowers expand their light and soul like wings	O
Teaching us by most persuasive reasons	N
How akin they are to human things	O
	-
And with childlike credulous affection	A
We behold their tender buds expand	D
Emblems of our own great resurrection	A
Emblems of the bright and better land	D

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
