The sun does not allow
Caprices of the atmosphere;
And even when the snow
Heaves balls of specks like vicious boy
Directly in his eye,
Does not so much as turn his head —
Busy with majesty!
’Tis his to stimulate the earth,
And magnetize the sea,
And bind astronomy in place —
Yet any passer-by
Would deem Ourselves the busier,
As the minutest bee
That rides supports a thunder,
A bomb to justify!
