Over the shoulders and slopes of the dune
I saw the white daisies go down to the sea,
A host in the sunshine, an army in June,
The people God sends us to set our hearts free.
The bobolinks rallied them up from the dell,
The orioles whistled them out of the wood;
And all of their saying was, “Earth, it is well!”
And all of their dancing was, “Life, thou art good!”

The daisies have shut up their sleepy red eyes,
And the bees...

Just over the way.

Ringing to church.
Come,...
Is not this rather the fast that I have chosen? loose the bands of wickedness, undo the bundles that oppress, let them that are broken...
