The Waking<\/p>\n

I Wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
\nI feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
\nI learn by going where I have to go.<\/p>\n

We think by feeling. What is there to know?
\nI hear my being dance from ear to ear.
\nI wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.<\/p>\n

Of those so close beside me, which are you?
\nGod bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
\nAnd learn by going where I have to go.<\/p>\n

Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
\nThe lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
\nI wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.<\/p>\n

Great Nature has another thing to do
\nTo you and me; so take the lively air,
\nAnd, lovely, learn by going where to go.<\/p>\n

This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
\nWhat falls away is always. And is near.
\nI wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
\nI learn by going where I have to go.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

– Theodore Roethke (1954)<\/p>\n
