| TO-DAY I have grown taller from walking with the trees, | |
| The seven sister-poplars who go softly in a line; | |
| And I think my heart is whiter for its parley with a star | |
| That trembled out at nightfall and hung above the pine. | |
| |
| The call-note of a redbird from the cedars in the dusk | 5 |
| Woke his happy mate within me to an answer free and fine; | |
| And a sudden angel beckoned from a column of blue smoke— | |
| Lord, who am I that they should stoop—these holy folk of thine? | |
