Though not a poem, but rather a reading from "In Search of Scotland" by H.V. Morton, the following paragraph continues to move me each and every time I read it.
"There are mornings now and then, rarer as a man grows older, which come steeped in the lost wonder of youth. Everything I sharper, more lovely, more desirable, so that, alive to the very finger-tips with the beauty of the world, a man trembles, it seems, on the threshold of a discovery. Such things are outside normal experience. It is almost as though the spirit had crossed the boundary between this world and the next."
