Part Two: Nature XII |
| TO hear an oriole sing | |
| May be a common thing, | |
| Or only a divine. | |
| It is not of the bird | |
| Who sings the same, unheard, | 5 |
| As unto crowd. | |
| The fashion of the ear | |
| Attireth that it hear | |
| In dun or fair. | |
| So whether it be rune, | 10 |
| Or whether it be none, | |
| Is of within; | |
| The “tune is in the tree,” | |
| The sceptic showeth me; | |
| “No, sir! In thee!” | 15 |
