Poetry for the Spirit: Poems of Universal Wisdom and Beauty, Edited by Alan Jacobs

A tree beside the sandy
River-beach
Holds up its topmost boughs
Like fingers towards the skies
They cannot reach,
Earth-bound, heaven-amorous.

This is the soul of man.
Body and brain
Hungry for earth
our heavenly flight detain.
