With frail blue wings.
The happy earth looks at the sky
And sings.
So comes a reck'ning when the banquet's o'er, The dreadful reckn'ning, and men smile no more.

His ancient song of leaves, and summer boon;

And birds of morning trim their bustling wings,
And listen fondly--while the Blackbird sings.

Music is in all growing things; And underneath the silky wings Of smallest insects there is stirred A pulse of air that must be heard; Earth's silence lives, and throbs, and sings.
Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's, but apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from apelike ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered.
