How wild, how witch-like weird that life should be! <br />That the insensate rock dared dream of me, <br />And take to bursting out and burgeoning— <br />Oh, long ago—yo ho!— <br />And wearing green! How stark and strange a thing <br />That life should be! <br /> <br />Oh mystic mad, a rigadoon of glee, <br />That dust should rise, and leap alive, and flee <br />Afoot, awing, and shake the deeps with cries— <br />Oh, far away—yo hay! <br />What moony masque, what arrogant disguise <br />That life should be!<br /><br />Harriet Monroe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wonder-of-it/
