The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.

The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.

To you and me, so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.

What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go. — Theodore Roethke
