Mary Oliver Quotes

Every Spring
I Hear The Thrush Singing
in The Glowing Woods
he Is Only Passing Through.
His Voice Is Deep,
then He Lifts It Until It Seems
to Fall From The Sky.
I Am Thrilled.
I Am Grateful.
Then, By The End Of Morning,
he's Gone, Nothing But Silence
out Of The Tree
where He Rested For A Night.
And This I Find Acceptable.
Not Enough Is A Poor Life.
But Too Much Is, Well, Too Much.
Imagine Verdi Or Mahler
every Day, All Day.
It Would Exhaust Anyone.
