Three Thoughts of My Heart
As I was straying by the forest brook
I heard my heart speak to me:
Listen; said my heart,
I have three thoughts for you...
a thought of clouds,
A thought of birds,
A thought of flowers.
I sat upon a cushion of moss,
Listening,
Where the light played, and the green shadows:
What would you do... I asked my heart...
If you were a floating ship of the sky...
If you were a peering bird...
If you were a wild geranium?
And my heart made answer:
That is what I wonder and wonder!
After all it is life I love,
After all I am a living thing,
After all I am the heart of you...
I am content!
