In a Field
Language: English
The sun and moon I see Beside me in the grass: The moon, a daisy’s face As pure and fine as glass; The sun, a dandelion As golden as a pound — Oh what a firmament Is this which I have found! White stars the elm tree shakes To twinkle where they lie As bright upon the earth As any in the sky. This field is heaven’s glass And gazing in I see What disembodied joys The future holds for me.
