"LOOK HERE UPON THIS PICTURE..."
Think how these woods, new budding in the bough, These meadoivs, starred with white against the green. Wherein we walk awhile , and happy, now. Are the sweet banks for time to flow between; Think how this air that eddies round us, here. Holding the flowers' fragrance, holding, too, The words we say, the names we shape for dear. Is pushed apart, for time's long flowing through. See how the flowers bend, as to a stream, See how the woods, in stillness, co)itcmplate The image of themselves in this slow dream, This mirror where is neither soon nor late — See—in this verse—the stilled reflection, so, One instant, ere the image break and go. —David Morton, in the “Christian Science Monitor."
