Because in one least moment that we mark--
That is, the uttering of a single sound--
There lurk yet many moments, which the reason
Discovers to exist,
therefore

That, in a moment how so brief ye will,
The divers idols are hard by, and ready
Each in its place diverse?

Only the herbs and simples of the wood,

Blue-vetch and trillium, hawkweed, sassafras,
Milkweeds and murky brakes, quaint pipes and sundew,
And rare and virtuous roots, which in these woods
Draw untold juices from the common earth,
Untold, unknown, and I could surely spell
Their fragrance, and their chemistry apply
By sweet

Driving the foe and stablishing the friend,--
O, that were much, and I could be a part
Of the round day, related to the sun

Of their imperfect functions.
