If our thoughts incline To a more gentle mood, we shall have friends [n the now fading boughs, and withered flowers. They will have meanings for us, such as quell Heart-stirring discontent, and hopes too high For the mind s peace. They tell us of decay, And lead us to the evening of our days, Making life s darker shades familiar to us, In no ungraceful guise, but shedding round them A pensive beauty. Let us then abroad. ( 23 ) And in the open theatre of fields And forests, let us read the magic... lines, Where Spirit stamps on all inferior Being Its essence and its power. There is a life In all things, so a gifted mind hath told In most oracular verse, and we may well Forgive a heart, that could not brook the sight Of any suffering thing, that he indulged Such fond imaginings, as gave to him Companions, whereso er he took his way Through hill or valley. He beheld himself Surrounded by a multitude of friends, Who with familiar faces welcomed him In the blank desert for the changing sky, Cloudless, or overshadowed by all shapes, That grow from air the sun who walks at noon Untended, and the lesser light that binds Her brow with stars, and all her retinue Of living lamps, had each a voice for him Distinctly audible, though to other ears They had no sound.
