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 of love and wings; and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should any 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)
