Hope by ee cummings (1894 - 1962) American poet

!HOPE
!hope faith!
!life love!
 bells cry bells
 (the sea of the sky is
 ablaze with their
        voices) all
shallbe and was
are drowned by
prodigious a
now of magnificent
 sound (which
 makes
        this
 whenworld squirm
turns
houses to
people and streets
into faces and cities
 to eyes) drift
        bells glide
 seethe
 glow
(undering proudly
humbly overing)
all bright all
things swim climb minds
 (down
 slowly swoop wholly
        up
        leaping through merciful
sunlight) to
burst 
in
a thunder of oneness
 dream! !joy
 truth! !soul
