“Pray to what Earth does this sweet cold belong,

Which asks no duties and no conscience?

The moon goes up by leaps, her cheerful path,

In some far summer stratum of the sky,

While stars with their cold shine bedot her way,

The fields gleam mildly back upon the sky,

And far below and near upon the leafless shrubs

The snow dust still emits a silver light.

Until the hedge, where drift banks are their screen,

The titmice now pursue their downy dreams,

As often in the sweltering summer nights

The bee doth drop asleep in the flower cup,

When evening overtakes him with his load.

By the brooksides, in the still, genial night,

The more adventurous wanderer may hear

The crystals shoot and form, and winter slow

Increase his rule by gentlest summer means.”

- Pray to What Earth, Henry David Thoreau.
