There was a child went forth every day; And the first object he looked upon, that object he became; And that object became a part of him for the day, or a certain part of the day, or for many years, or stretching cycles of years. The early lilacs became a part of this child, And the grass, and the white and red morning-glories, and the white and red clover, and the song of the phoebebird, And the third-month lambs, and the sow's pink-faint litter, and the mare's foal, and the cow's calf, And the noisy brood of the barn-yard * And the apple-trees covered with blossoms, and the fruit afterward, and wood-berries, and the commonest weeds by the road; * * * * And the school-mistress that pass'd on her way to the school, * * * * The village on the highland seen from afar at sunset the river between. * * Shadows, aureola, and mist, the light falling on roofs, and gables of white or brown, three miles off, These became a part of that child who went forth every day, and who now goes, and will always go forth every day.
