LIMITATION

When listening birds and silent bees, And hillsides blazing golden flame, And summer winds in autumn trees The waning year proclaim,
I long in some illumined way To be of nature’s soul a part, Uplifted, with the yellow day, Close to her glowing heart.
Like angel songs when souls go free, Too faint to reach those left below, October glory hungers me, Eludes my senses slow.
Can it be God for whom I strive, Perfection’s smile for which I strain, That face no man may see alive In joy or sacred pain?
