In a clear soft shaft of light [normalized version]

In a clear soft shaft of light
standing alone
  on the flower hill—

(Has Time come over the hill
 w/ bird-song & tree-song
 & day-song & night-song ?

     Has Time
with little bell tolls
     told you
whose footsteps (obscured
by clouds) might be traced
homeward again
among flowers
now here, how far,
     so near, now —
in a clear soft shaft of light
standing alone?)

  — by the wind
     on the little green hill
in the leaves blown

his heart beating,
     his glad hands heeding

the lost world now
again his own

     w/ marvelous under-
standing
