Nature a Moral Power + 

Nature, to him no message dost thou bear + 

Who in thy beauty findeth not the power + 

To gird himself more strongly for the hour + 

Of night and darkness. Oh, what colours rare + 

The woods, the valleys, and the mountains wear + 

To him who knows thy secret, and, in shower, + 

And fog, and ice-cloud, hath a secret bower + 

Where he may rest until the heavens are fair! + 

Not with the rest of slumber, but the trance + 

Of onward movement steady and serene, + 

Where oft, in struggle and in contest keen, + 

His eyes will opened be, and all the dance + 

Of life break on him, and a wide expanse + 

Roll upward through the void, sunny and green. + 
