Florence Churchill Casebeer - XXIV. To My Challenged Self lyrics

My shut-in window framed for me today The morning light upon a flowering tree A brooding bird, a gay one soaring free! As swiftly flashed the pictures, day did pa** And ere the setting sun burnished my gla** A leaf appeared to dance in ecstasy, And suddenly, no leaf my eye could see! Beyond my seeing eye the wonders pa**! Now fleeting shadows seem my dreams to woo; A tireless spinner threads a web of lace; The tall pine tree is tipped with newer green, And where aerial wires appear as new The shore of cloud land I can clearly trace. Now stars appear as guides to worlds unseen.
