'Tis noon At noon the Hebrew bowed the knee	A
And worshipped while the husbandmen withdrew	B
From the scorched field and the wayfaring man	C
Grew faint and turned aside by bubbling fount	D
Or rested in the shadow of the palm	E
	-
I too amid the overflow of day	D
Behold the power which wields and cherishes	F
The frame of Nature From this brow of rock	G
That overlooks the Hudson's western marge	H
I gaze upon the long array of groves	I
The piles and gulfs of verdure drinking in	J
The grateful heats They love the fiery sun	K
Their broadening leaves grow glossier and their sprays	L
Climb as he looks upon them In the midst	D
The swelling river into his green gulfs	M
Unshadowed save by passing sails above	N
Takes the redundant glory and enjoys	O
The summer in his chilly bed Coy flowers	P
That would not open in the early light	D
Push back their plaited sheaths The rivulet's pool	Q
That darkly quivered all the morning long	R
In the cool shade now glimmers in the sun	K
And o'er its surface shoots and shoots again	S
The glittering dragon fly and deep within	J
Run the brown water beetles to and fro	T
	-
A silence the brief sabbath of an hour	U
Reigns o'er the fields the laborer sits within	J
His dwelling he has left his steers awhile	V
Unyoked to bite the herbage and his dog	W
Sleeps stretched beside the door stone in the shade	D
Now the grey marmot with uplifted paws	X
No more sits listening by his den but steals	Y
Abroad in safety to the clover field	D
And crops its juicy blossoms All the while	V
A ceaseless murmur from the populous town	Z
Swells o'er these solitudes a mingled sound	D
Of jarring wheels and iron hoofs that clash	A2
Upon the stony ways and hammer clang	B2
And creak of engines lifting ponderous bulks	Y
And calls and cries and tread of eager feet	D
Innumerable hurrying to and fro	T
Noon in that mighty mart of nations brings	Y
No pause to toil and care With early day	D
Began the tumult and shall only cease	Y
When midnight hushing one by one the sounds	Y
Of bustle gathers the tired brood to rest	D
	-
Thus in this feverish time when love of gain	C2
And luxury possess the hearts of men	S
Thus is it with the noon of human life	D2
We in our fervid manhood in our strength	E2
Of reason we with hurry noise and care	F2
Plan toil and strife and pause not to refresh	G2
Our spirits with the calm and beautiful	H2
Of God's harmonious universe that won	K
Our youthful wonder pause not to inquire	I2
Why we are here and what the reverence	Y
Man owes to man and what the mystery	A
That links us to the greater world beside	D
Whose borders we but hover for a space	Y
