Beginning My Studies

  Beginning my studies the first step pleasd me so much,
  The mere fact consciousness, these forms, the power of motion,
  The least insect or animal, the senses, eyesight, love,
  The first step I say awed me and pleasd me so much,
  I have hardly gone and hardly wishd to go any farther,
  But stop and loiter all the time to sing it in ecstatic songs.
