This is just wonderful! When you write a lyric poem you don't make a false step, and it's illustrated in this one where all the elements occupy a privileged place but no one is allowed to dominate. And the natural world is suffused with a spiritual atmosphere which heightens its beauty and alerts us to the plus factor in the sensory world that indicates something more is present than just the material stratum we know through our senses. There is SOMETHING FAR MORE DEEPLY INTERFUSED. as Wordsworth wrote. This poem will make a fine accompaniment to the photo you described - word imagery and pictorial imagery in tandem.
