A light exists in spring
Not present on the year
At any other period—
When March is scarcely here
A color stands abroad
On solitary fields
That science cannot overtake
But human nature feels.
It waits upon the lawn,
It shows the furthest tree
Upon the furthest slope we know;
It almost speaks to me.
Then, as horizons step,
Or noons report away,
Without the formula of sound,
It passes, and we stay:
A quality of loss
Affecting our content,
As trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a sacrament.
