Thither as I look I see each result and glory retracing itself and
nestling close, always obligated,
Thither hours, months, years -thither trades, compacts,
establishments, even the most minute,
Thither every-day life, speech, utensils, politics, persons,estates;
Thither we also, I with my leaves and songs, trustful, admirant,
As a father to his father going takes his children along with him.
