Here is the rest of the poem.

The seven sister-poplars who go softly in a line;

And I think my heart is whiter for its parley with a star

That trembled out at nightfall and hung above the pine.

The call-note of a redbird from the cedars in the dusk

Woke his happy mate within me to an answer free and fine;

And a sudden angel beckoned from a column of blue smoke—

Lord, who am I that they should stoop—these holy folk of thine?

I love the CG quote today……. Because it happens to me every time I look up at the giant Poplars in our forest.

Thanks. I must admit I do not care for single line quotes taken from the whole. Without the context they often make no sense at all.
