It is part of Paul Hamilton Hayne’s poems that he wrote later in life. It alludes to our earth yet is flavored with the philosophy of nature. Other than that I am not sure what may have inspired him to write it. The link at the bottom of the post will take you to the page where it starts but once there you can read any or all of the poems in the book. He lived about the mid-1800’s.
