BEGINNING MY STUDIES.
| BEGINNING my studies the first step pleas'd me so much, |
| The mere fact consciousness, these forms, the power of motion, |
| The least insect or animal, the senses, eyesight, love, |
| The first step I say awed me and pleas'd me so much, |
| I have hardly gone and hardly wish'd to go any farther, |
| But stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs. |
