    Richard Wilbur’s: Praise in Summer

    +

    Obscurely, yet most surely called to praise

    As summer calls us all, i said

    The hills are heavens full of branching ways

    where star-nosed moles fly overhead the dead.

    I said, the trees are mines in the air, i said

    See how the swallow burrows through the sky!

    And then i wondered why this mad Instead

    Perverts our praise to uncreation, why

    Such savors in this wrenching things awry.

    Does sense so stale that it must need derange

    the world to know it? Be it not enough of fresh and strange

    that trees grow green, and moles can course in clay

    and swallows sweep the ceiling of our day ?
