1. A Sonnet for
the Earth
By:

2. WHEN I am weary
for delight and spent,

3. Even as a bird that tries
too long its wings
Will nest awhile amid
the grass and sings,

4. So I drop downward
from the wonderment

5. Of timelessness
and space, which
were blent

6. The wind, the sunshine
and the wanderings

7. Of all the planets – to the
little things
That are my grass and
flowers and am content.

8. Or if in flight my wings
should beat so far

9. From the kind grass that
is so cool and deep
That it must poise among
the winds on high --

11. Piercing thy sunshine, and
will always keep

12. A song for thee amid the
farthest sky.
