I Thank You God for Most This Amazing


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 birthday of life and love and wings:
and of the gay great happening illimitably earth)

How should tasting touching hearing
seeing breathing any - lifted from the no
of all nothing - human-merely-being
doubt unimaginable You?

(Now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

by E.E. Cummings
