The Baltimore Marathon, page 8

   i thank You God for most this amazing
   day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
   and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
   which is natural which is infinite which is yes

   (i who have died am alive again today,
   and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
   day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
   great happening illimitably earth)
