O to make the most jubilant song!
Full of music — full of manhood, womanhood, infancy!
Full of common employments — full of grain and trees.
O for the voices of animals — O for the swiftness and balance of fishes!
O for the dropping of raindrops in song!
O for the sunshine and movement of waves in song!
From A Song of Joys by Walt Whitman
