BEGINNING MY STUDIES.
BEGINNING my studies the first step pleas'd me so much, |
The mere fact consciousness, these forms, the power of motion, |
The least insect or animal, the senses, eyesight, love, |
The first step I say awed me and pleas'd me so much, |
I have hardly gone and hardly wish'd to go any farther, |
But stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs. |
