LIVING AND DYING 
“ Then let me joy to be 
Alive with bird and tree, 
And have no haughtier aim than this, 
To be a partner in their bliss. 
So shall my soul at peace 
From anxious carping cease, 
Fed slowly like a wholesome bud 
With sap of healthy thoughts and good 
That when at last I die 
No praise may earth deny, 
But with her living forms combine 
To chant a threnody divine.”
