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."
