Of that dear vale where you and I have lain

Scanning the mysteries of life and death

I dreamed, though how impassable the space

Of time between the present and the past!

This was the vision that possessed my mind;

I thought the weird and gusty days of March

Had eased themselves in melody and peace.

Pale lights, swift shadows, lucent stalks, clear streams,

Cool, rosy eves behind the penciled mesh

Of hazel thickets, and the huge feathered boughs

Of walnut trees stretched singing to the blast;

Edgar Lee Masters, The Vision
