In my dream last night it seemed I stoodA
With a boy's glad heart in my boyhood's woodA
-
The beryl green and the cairngorm brownB
Of the day through the deep leaves sifted downB
-
The rippling drip of a passing showerC
Rinsed wild aroma from herb and flowerC
-
The splash and urge of a waterfallD
Spread stairwayed rocks with a crystal caulE
-
And I waded the pool where the gravel grayF
And the last year's leaf like a topaz layF
-
And searched the strip of the creek's dry bedG
For the colored keel and the arrow headG
-
And I found the cohosh coigne the sameH
Tossing with torches of pearly flameH
-
The owlet dingle of vine and brierC
That the butterfly weed flecked fierce with fireC
-
The elder edge with its warm perfumeI
And the sapphire stars of the bluet bloomI
-
The moss the fern and the touch me notJ
I breathed and the mint smell keen and hotJ
-
And I saw the bird that sang its bestK
In the moted sunlight building its nestK
-
And I saw the chipmunk's stealthy faceL
And the rabbit crouched in a grassy placeL
-
And I watched the crows that cawed and criedM
Hunting the hawk at the forest sideM
-
The bees that sucked in the blossoms slimN
And the wasps that built on the lichened limbN
-
And felt the silence the dusk the dreadG
Of the spot where they buried the unknown deadG
-
The water murmur the insect humO
And a far bird calling Come oh comeO
-
What sweeter music can mortals makeP
To ease the heart of its human acheP
-
And it seemed in my dream that was all too trueQ
That I met in the woods again with youQ
-
A sun tanned face and brown bare kneesR
And a hand stained red with dewberriesR
-
And we stood a moment some thing to tellS
And then in the woods we said farewellS
-
But once I met you yet lo it seemsR
Again and again we meet in dreamsR
-
And I ask my soul what it all may meanT
If this is the love that should have beenU
-
And oft and again I wonder CanV
What God intends be changed by manV
