I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do.
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady, I should know,
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go. - Theodore Rocthke, the Waking
