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 swiming under:

Ah! we hear not and see not, but thinking

Fills life up with wonder!
