DIVINITY
HOW can there be Dearth of divinity Whiles that we have resurgence of the sod, — The quickened clod, The flowering dogwood-rod, —That yields the gold of such rich treasury To the adventurous bee!
In shower and shine, In muted pine tops or in boughs that breathe Raptures of choric tone, In ferns that wreathe The stricken bole or moss-incrusted stone, In the swift pulses of the stream, In star-gleam or moon-gleam, In cloud and storm, In nature multifold and multiform, Lo, if ye heed, ye may behold the sign Of the Divine!
