I Hail Myself as I do Homer
The heart of God, the unpretending heaven, concealing the midnight stars in glassing the day of earth,
Showers his brooding love upon the green-crowned goddess, May Earth, in heart-lulling mirth.
O Poet, begin thy flight by singing of the hidden soul in vaporous harmony;
Startle the lazy noon drowsing in the full-flowing tide of the sunbeams nailing thy chants in Eternity!
The melody breathing peace in the name of Spring, calms tear to smile, envy to rest.
