They live within their own longing
The plants and animals and birds
Each with its own specialty and skill
Not needing to see what we see
When we look out at the world
Parts of an immeasurable will
And an original unselfishness
From which we separated ourselves
Each in our own private will
Ruling a selfish world
The wonder is they stay with us
And feel everything we feel
And suffer with us willingly
And long for us to return
