VII. “I WANDERED ALL THROUGH HEAVEN”
I wandered all through heaven, and saw its leafy arches,
And breathed its scent of pines and fragrance of its larches,
And watched its white seas break;
I saw the clover wave upon its hill-sides spacious,
And saw the gold corn bend in undulations gracious,
And marked green islands float on many a lake:
And breathed its scent of pines and fragrance of its larches,
And watched its white seas break;
I saw the clover wave upon its hill-sides spacious,
And saw the gold corn bend in undulations gracious,
And marked green islands float on many a lake:
I wandered through new towns in heaven, and marked fair faces
Full of the wondrous light that gleams through heavenly places,—
Eyes brown and all divine:
But, all through heaven, I saw, though far and wide I wandered,
And where I wandered, searched, and sought and dreamed and pondered,
No eyes so clear, so beautiful, as thine.
Full of the wondrous light that gleams through heavenly places,—
Eyes brown and all divine:
But, all through heaven, I saw, though far and wide I wandered,
And where I wandered, searched, and sought and dreamed and pondered,
No eyes so clear, so beautiful, as thine.
