I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. (a)

I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. (b)

I learn by going where I have to go. (a)

We think by feeling. What is there to know? (a)

I hear my being dance from ear to ear. (b)

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. (a)

Of those so close beside me, which are you? (a)

God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there, (b)

And learn by going where I have to go. (a)

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? (a)

The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair; (b)

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. (a)

Great Nature has another thing to do (a)

To you and me; so take the lively air, (b)

And, lovely, learn by going where to go.(a)

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. (a)

What falls away is always. And is near. (b)

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. (a)

I learn by going where I have to go. (a)
