Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us the pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.
For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.
This poem really speaks to me because the plot is very beautiful and presents a wonderful theme. The imagery creates a descriptive picture in my mind. This poem expresses how thankful we should be that God has made such a nice world for us. The scenery that is explained in this fantastic poem makes me think of the happy tone, and persuades me to think in a positive attitude
