The greatest joy in nature is the absence of man.
The glad indomitable sea, The strong white sun.
There paused to shut the door A fellow called the Wind, With mystery before, And reticence behind.
Here's to the day when it is May And care as light as a feather, When your little shoes and my big boots Go tramping over the heather.
