Excerpt from The Lookout and Other Poems The earth has voices low and meek For each who in its pathway strays, But accents yet more gently speak In language that through nature plays. Than lightest warbling of a bird, Or whisper of a leafy tree, A softer utterance is heard, A breath inbreathed o'er land and sea. Who walks in time's events and cares, His thought with deep concerns replete, Perceives it floating on the airs And deems no other sound so sweet. The heart receives, in solemn pause, The crowning sentiment it brings - Love's wording of life's inward cause, The message of the soul of things.
