Nature In Leasts

Title:     Nature In Leasts
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson [More Titles by Emerson]

As sings the pine-tree in the wind,
So sings in the wind a sprig of the pine;
Her strength and soul has laughing France
Shed in each drop of wine.

 

[Greek: ADAKRYN NEMONTAI AIONA]

'A New commandment,' said the smiling Muse,
'I give my darling son, Thou shalt not preach';--
Luther, Fox, Behmen, Swedenborg, grew pale,
And, on the instant, rosier clouds upbore
Hafiz and Shakspeare with their shining choirs.

[The end]
Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem: Nature In Leasts
