i thank You God for most
this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true
dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is
yes

(i who have died am alive
again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life
and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably
earth)
again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life
and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably

how should tasting touching
hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the no
of all nothing-human
merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears
awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
