i
thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly
spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and
for everything
which is natural which is
infinite which is yes
(i
who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's
birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and
wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably
earth)
how should tasting touching
hearing seeing
breathing any-lifted from the
no
of
all nothing-human merely being
doubt unimaginably
You?
(now the ears of my ears awake
and
now the eyes of my eyes are
opened)
- e. e.
cummings -
