Lord, if that Cloud still grows and swells,
To reach the Sun at last -
What a fine nipple she will have
On the top of her white breast!
And does this Blackbird, singing here,
Up on my Sycamore bough,
Make that his richest Summer's yarn,
To last the season through;
Or is he blind, to Cloud and Sun,
And sings but from content -
Because his body feels no pain,
And his mind has no complaint?
