I never am alone:
Though whom’t were pleasure then to know
Are gone, and you are gone;
From every side discourses flow.
And converse in the air;
All magic thoughts in those and these
And what is sweet and rare;
And everything that living is.
For they have voices too;
Yet speak with tongues, that never hurt,
As ours are apt to do:
The weeds, the grass, the common wort.
