Haze

Woolf of the sun, ethereal gauze,
Woven of Nature's richest stuyffs,
Visible heat, air-water, and dry sea,
Last conquest of the eye;
Toil of the day displayed, sun-dust,
Aerial surf upon the shores of earth,
Ethereal estuary, frith of light,
Breakers of air, billows of heat,
Fine summer spray on island seas;
Bird of the sun, transparent-winget,
Owlet of noon, soft pinionet,
From heath or stubble rising without song, -
Establish thy serenity o'er the fields.

Henry David Thoerau
1817-1862
