I. I Go Among Trees
by Wendell Berry 

I go among trees and sit still. 
All my stirring becomes quiet 
around me like circles on water. 
My tasks lie in their places 
where I left them, asleep like cattle. 

Then what is afraid of me comes 
and lives a while in my sight. 
What it fears in me leaves me, 
and the fear of me leaves it. 
It sings, and I hear its song. 

Then what I am afraid of comes. 
I live for a while in its sight. 
What I fear in it leaves it, 
and the fear of it leaves me. 
It sings, and I hear its song. 

After days of labor, 
mute in my consternations, 
I hear my song at last, 
and I sing it. As we sing, 
the day turns, the trees move.
