I thank You God for most this amazing day
I thank You God for most this amazing
Day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
And a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
Which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today
And this is the sun’s birthday;this is the birth
Day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
Great happening illimitably earth)
How should tasting touching hearing seeing
Breathing any-lifted from the no
Of all nothing-human merely being
Doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
Now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
