Breath Is Enough

 I draw sweet air
Deeply and long,
As pure as prayer,
As sweet as song.

Where lilies glow
And roses wreath,
Heart-joy I know
Is just to breathe.


Aye, so I think
By shore or sea,
As deep I drink
Of purity.

This brave machine,
Bare to the buff,
I keep ice-clean,
Breath is enough.


From mountain stream
To covert cool
The world, I deem,
Is wonderful;
The great, the small,
The smooth, the rough,
I love it all,--
Breath is enough.
