In some clear, crystalline, calm-murmuringMidnight, or when the cloud-sierras rise
Massive and flame-swept in the sunset skies,
Or in the noonday broad and glittering,
We shall return! The endless wind shall bring
Sea-perfumes and sea-rumours and the cries
Of scattered sea-birds, while our shrunken eyes
Grow spacious in the vast horizon's ring.
There day by day in high intelligence
Of Nature, we shall learn her parable;
We shall explore thought's wide circumference;
We shall return at last! and find the soul,
By indications untransmissible,
Always the steadfast centre and the goal!
