Upon This Blue Enchanted Globe

Rhapsody upon the wing

Loudly chanting in the trees,

Ecstasy aloud to sing

Voicing love-struck melodies,

Child-gods playing by the sea

Eyes of wisdom's radiance

Laughter heard beyond the lee

Teach me simple elegance.

Forest-stalkers stealthy move

Sighted in the depths of night,

Soundless in the soundless grove

Teach me how to travel light

As I once moved before this birth,

As once I saw who cannot see

The pinpoint eagle over earth

Or solve the timeless mystery.

Saints and sages sing to me

Who would discard the ego-robe

Of all the wonder still to be

Upon this blue enchanted globe.
