Free to all souls the hidden beauty calls,
The ______ thrift dwelling on her spray-swept height,
The lofty rose, ______ low-grown aconite,
The gliding river and the stream that ______
Down the sharp cliffs with constant breaks and falls—
______ these are equal in the equal light—
All waters ______ the one Infinite.

But the wide sea from men is ______ freed;

Nor softlier go for any landlord's need,
Where rhythmic ______ flow for no miser's sake
And none hath profit ______ the brown sea-weed,
But all things give themselves, yet ______ may take.

All brawls men mirror none of sea the tides wholly
