Advice

Now, you two eyes, that have all night been sleeping,

Come into the meadows, where the lambs are leaping;

See how they start at every swallow’s shadow

That darts across their face s and their meadow.

See how the blades spring upright, when the Sun

Takes off the weight of raindrops, one by one.

See how a shower, that freshened leaves of grass,

Can make the bird’s voice fresher than it was.

See how the squirrels lash the quiet trees

Into a tempest, where there is no breeze!

Now, you two eyes, that have all night been sleeping,

Come into the meadows, where the lambs are leaping.
