TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3. THE LONG DAY IN THE OPEN by EDWARD CARPENTER

First Line: HOUR AFTER HOUR PASSES BY, THE SUN WHEELS ON
Last Line: DOST THOU NOT SAY WHAT I HAVE TO SAY, ARE NOT OUR PURPOSES ONE?
Subject(s): NATURE;
HOUR after hour passes by, the Sun wheels on, the clouds disperse and
re-form;
On all I have to do thou lookest O Nature, I have nothing to conceal from
thee; O Moon traveling so close over the hills,
Dost thou not say what I have to say, are not our purposes one?
