Afternoon

Caroline Sturgis Tappan (1819–1888)

I LIE upon the earth and feed upon the sky,

Drink in the soft, deep blue, falling from on high.

Walnut boughs, all steeped in gold, quiver to and fro;

Winds like spirits murmur, as through the air they go,

My soul is filled with joy and holy faith and love,

For noble friends on earth and angels pure above.
