World, world, I cannot get thee close enough! Long have I known a glory in it all, But never knew like this; Here such a pattern is As stretcheth me apart. Lord, I do fear Thou’st made the world too beautiful this year: My soul is all but out of me—let fall No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call.
