Fulfillment

Yes, there are some who may look on these
  Essential peoples of the earth and air--
  That have the stars and flowers in their care--
  And all their soul-suggestive secrecies:
  Heart-intimates and comrades of the trees,
  Who from them learn, what no known schools declare,
  God's knowledge; and from winds, that discourse there,
  God's gospel of diviner mysteries:
  To whom the waters shall divulge a word
  Of fuller faith; the sunset and the dawn
  Preach sermons more inspired even than
  The tongues of Penticost; as, distant heard
  In forms of change, through Nature upward drawn,
  God doth address th' immortal soul of Man.
