i thank You God
Text: e.e. cummings

i thank You God for this most 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 of love and wings;
and of the gay great happening illimitably earth)

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

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)

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
