    Heaven in the Grass


    To see the world within your hand

    and an Eden within your heart,

    bend and stoop and sit out on the grass.


    This—the earthly grass, is nearly heaven;

    You needn’t dream of perfect worlds

    or consume the most intoxicating of fruits


    there is spirit enough in a handful of sand

    to stir the lotus-eaters from their trance.
