Praise

DEAR, they are praising your beauty,

The grass and the sky:

The sky in a silence of wonder,

The grass in a sigh.

I too would sing for your praising,

Dearest, had I

Speech as the whispering grass,

Or the silent sky.

These have an art for the praising

Beauty so high.

Sweet, you are praised in a silence,

Sung in a sigh.
