Excerpt from The Grave of Dreams: And Other Verses Why do I sing when many poets are making Sweet melody? Why do I raise my voice when they are taking A higher key? Why does the poor grass in the rose's garden Bloom with the rose? The meanest tree asks not the great oak's pardon Because it grows. Sublime the mountains stand in worship holy, Sun-crowned, untrod, May not the little foothills meek and lowly Look up to God? Because majestic rivers robed in splendor Flow mightily, Shall not the wayside streams their tributes render, Unto the sea? Go ask the smallest of the stars of heaven The reason why, When shine the glories of the planets seven, They light the sky. The answer comes that all things seek expression In earth and sky. From flower to star, if all make this confession. Then why not I? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
