We loved the illimitable night
]

We loved the illimitable night,We loved the interminable sea,
We loved, on flower and vine and tree,
The candid foliage wet with light.
We loved the thunder and the might
Of mountains and ineffably
We loved the power that made us be
Lovers of life and life's delight.
We loved the innocent joys of earth,
The poise and peace of natural things,
We loved the miracle of birth;
We loved, beyond life's last release,
The shadow as of stirless wings,
The silence and majestic peace.
