"Smile, O voluptuous, cool-breathed Earth!
Earth of the slumbering and liquid trees!
Earth of departed sunset! Earth of the mountains, misty-topt!
Earth of the vitreous pour of the full moon, just tinged with
blue!
Earth of shine and dark, mottling the tide of the
river!
Earth of the limpid gray of clouds, brighter and clear-
er for my sake!
Far-swooping elbowed Earth! Rich, apple-blossomed
Earth!
Smile, for your lover comes!"
