Like beautiful thoughts moving to and fro.
And not a wave of their busy wings
Is unknown to the Spirit that moveth all things.”

A flash of harmless lightning,
A mist of rainbow dyes,
The burnished sunbeams brightening,
From flower to flower he flies…

That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops – at all.
