What shall I wish?
That trees should gleam with a deeper green.
The sinking sun with a richer gold : That stars should dazzle with their light, And night enlarge the infinite?
Or shall I wish the feathered throng Sing me a new, a sweeter song?
Or pray the creeping winds may whisper Secrets more whimsical at vesper?
What shall I wish?
That all this beauty never fade, Nor cankerworm the rose invade : That I may never be regretting A sun that is forever setting? And shall I stay the steps of Sprin...g, And flout old Winter's useless sting : Make life one grand eternal day. Where youth for ever youth shall stay?
Not these I wish.
Earth's beauty is enough for me. I love her changeful pageantry, Sunlight and shadow, tears and laughter, Paeons of peace, the tempest after, The green of youth, the bronze of age, The challenge of the wind's glad rage : Nothing is here but I would weep Its absence, nought but I would keep.
24 But oh, I wish That to my senseless soul were given The gift of wonder, that to Heaven I ne'er should raise the unseeing eyes Of custom.
