''Move him into the sun —
 +
Gently its touch awoke him once,
 +
At home, whispering of fields unsown.
 +
Always it woke him, even in France,
 +
Until this morning and this snow.
 +
If anything might rouse him now
 +
The kind old sun will know.
 +
Think how it wakes the seeds —
 +
Woke, once, the clays of a cold star.
 +
Are limbs so dear-achieved, are sides
 +
Full-nerved, — still warm, — too hard to stir?
 +
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
 +
— O what made fatuous sunbeams toil'
 +
To break earth's sleep at all?"
