Liii

No thing occult of Heaven or Earth, Or influence of such, I feel But hath a meaning and a worth God, in His wisdom, doth conceal: Reflections of another birth, Existent with and kin to ours, Announcing through supernal powers Facts of a world it would reveal.

In Nature I perceive it, too, This other life I can not see: A spirit sparkles in the dew, The trees have tongues that speak to me: That Earth is green and Heaven, blue, The sight alone may satisfy; The soul sees with a different eye The meaning ’neath the mystery.
