When my soul awakes from sleep,
Now new things stur,
sudden wonders arise;
The earth, in all its quiet grace arrayed,
Has long been bright beneath my unseeing eyes.
The meadow’s hush, the river’s silver tongue,
The trembling light on summers leaf.
The robin’s song so tenderly begun,
Were always there, though veiled in my mind’s disbelief.
O sweet, unguarded moment free!
Now I know
That beauty never turned nor fled from me;
’Twas I who walked too blind, too fast, too low,
To understand the world in all its mystery.
Now time moves slow,
now light and air reveal,
The truth I’d not seen—yet is always, always real.
