Nature
Canoe Song
From Songs of the Great Dominion (1889)
Nature
O LIGHT canoe ! where dost thou glide ?
Below thee gleams no silver'd tide,
But concave heaven's chiefest pride.
Above thee burns eve's rosy bar ;
Below thee throbs her darling star ;
Deep 'neath thy keel her round worlds are !
Above, below, O sweet surprise !
To gladden happy lover's eyes ;
No earth, no wave, — all jewelled skies !
