I will be the gladdest thing
  Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
  And not pick one.I will look at cliffs and clouds
  With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
  And the grass rise.And when lights begin to show
  Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
  And then start down!
