The Age Of Gold

Topics: classic

The clouds that tower in storm, that beat     Arterial thunder in their veins;     The wildflowers lifting, shyly sweet,     Their perfect faces from the plains, -     All high, all lowly things of Earth     For no vague end have had their birth.     Low strips of mist that mesh the moon     Above the foaming waterfall;     And mountains, that God's hand hath hewn,     And forests, where the great winds call, -     Within the grasp of such as see     Are parts of a conspiracy;     To seize the soul with beauty; hold     The heart with love: and thus fulfill     Within ourselves the Age of Gold,     That never died, and never will, -     As long as one true nature feels     The wonders that the world reveals.
