Whence the sap begins to flow

Where the coming May Is planned;
Where such influences thrOb

Through the tree and from the ground.
Great within me is my soul.
Great TO journey to Its goal,
TO the country OF the dead
For the cornel-tps are red.
And n passion rich In strife
Drives me toward the home OF life.

Who have flushed the cornel-stem,
Who imagine at It's source
All the years delicious course.

Something OF their rapture's height.
