I thank you god

Shelby and I chose this poem to present in front of this class, we really liked it because it was really religious and we were able to relate to it very well. We thought the punctuation, capitalization, and even some of the wording was kind of strange but figured that it was to help put emphasis on certain things. For example in the first line it says, "i thank YOU God for most this amazing day:", the capitalization of you emphasizes God and instead of saying, for this most amazing day, puts an emphasis on thanking God.
In the first stanza we thought it was mostly about thanking God for all he has done for us, and everything he has created, the, "leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky;". The line after this is somewhat confusing, "and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes." We agreed that the author was excitedly thanking God for everything and he is listing of all these things and then stops and just breathes for a moment.
The next stanza we believed was talking about baptizing since it says, "i who have died am alive again today," When a person is baptized they allow God into their heart and all their sins are washed away, they have a clean slate or a new beginning. So we thought this was like their old self died and was reborn in a way. The lines after that is like the celebration or appreciation of earth and the reawakening the person had with God. The stanza after that was like a reminder for people to count their blessings because God was the one that created everything even their senses like tasting and touching.
The very last two lines, "now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened," was like what we related to as when you have that light bulb moment and everything suddenly makes sense. The author is seeing things with a new awareness and it's like everything just clicks into place for him. He sees the earth and himself as a creative and wondrous thing God created.
