Nature
The Coming
From The Singing Leaves (1903)
Nature
Low in the west, the early star
Is hazed with fires of Spring.
Low in the east, the golden moon
Comes slowly westering.
The last-year leaves, they breathe and stir
With hope beyond their ken.
O golden fear!—that men must hear
All hearts wake up again.
