Excerpt from Nature-Notes and Impressions: In Prose and Verse Would I could talk as the flowers talk To my soul! and the stars, in their ceaseless walk Through Heaven! - and tell to the high and low The things that they say, so all might know The dreams they dream, and have told to me! As Nature sees would I could see! Then might I speak with authority! - I stand below and look above, And see her busy with life and love, And can tell the world so little thereof. Oh, for a soul that could feel much less! Or, feeling more, could so express The things it feels and their tenderness: The very essence, the soul of art, And all the heavens and hells of heart! Then might I rise to the very peak, The summit of song, which poets seek, And speak with a voice as the masters speak.
