Stray Birds(29-35)

29. My heart beats her waves at the shore of the world and writes upon it her signature in tears with the words, "I love thee."

30. "Moon, for what do you wait? "

      "To salute the sun for whom I must make way. "

31. The trees come up to my window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth.

32. His own mornings are new surprises to God.

33. Life finds its wealth by the claims of the world, and its worth by the claims of love.

34. The dry river-bed finds no thanks for its past.

35. The bird wishes it werea cloud. The cloud wishes it were a bird.
