WISHES
- O GIVE me the ears of a fairy
- To hear the trees growing,
- The greeting of ants and of earwigs;
- To hearken the lowing
- Of tiny green cattle in grass woods
- Where wee winds are blowing.
- O give me ears of a giant
- To hear the sun thunder
- Along space, to list the moon coming,
- The earth swinging under:
- Ah! we hear not and see not, but thinking
- Fills life up with wonder!
