Now I know why ivy Climbs against the wall Striving to be graceful, Greener and more tall. Now I see why swallows Sweep across the sky In their swift excitement, Shrilling as they fly. Now I hear all music says; The stream's low murmuring. Now I know why gardens grow And birds forever sing. All of earth and heaven, God's grandeur, with the rest, I glimpse in flashing worship While I lie against your breast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE JEWISH SYNAGOGUE AT NEWPORT by EMMA LAZARUS ON AN UNFINISHED STATUE BY MICHAEL ANGELO by GEORGE SANTAYANA 1914: 3.
