Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLDMNODHMM MPQRSWE two how long we were fool'd | A |
Now transmuted we swiftly escape as Nature escapes | B |
We are Nature long have we been absent but now we return | C |
We become plants leaves foliage roots bark | D |
We are bedded in the ground we are rocks | E |
We are oaks we grow in the openings side by side | F |
We browse we are two among the wild herds spontaneous as any | G |
We are two fishes swimming in the sea together | H |
We are what the locust blossoms are we drop scent around the lanes | I |
mornings and evenings | J |
We are also the coarse smut of beasts vegetables minerals | K |
We are two predatory hawks we soar above and look down | L |
We are two resplendent suns we it is who balance ourselves orbic | D |
and stellar we are as two comets | M |
We prowl fang'd and four footed in the woods we spring on prey | N |
We are two clouds forenoons and afternoons driving overhead | O |
We are seas mingling we are two of those cheerful waves rolling | D |
over each other and interwetting each other | H |
We are what the atmosphere is transparent receptive pervious | M |
impervious | M |
We are snow rain cold darkness we are each product and influence | M |
of the globe | P |
We have circled and circled till we have arrived home again we two | Q |
have | R |
We have voided all but freedom and all but our own joy | S |
