Hills and valleys where April rallies his radiant
⁠squadron of flowers and birds,
Steep strange beaches and lustrous reaches of fluctuant
⁠sea that the land engirds,
Fields and downs that the sunrise crowns with life
⁠diviner than lives in words,

Day by day of resurgent May salute the sun with
⁠sublime acclaim,
Change and brighten with hours that lighten and darken,
⁠girdled with cloud or flame;
Earth's fair face in alternate grace beams, blooms, and
⁠lowers, and is yet the same.
