|
I pass beyond time and life on measureless wings |
|
Yet still am one with born and unborn things |
|
I have wrapped the wide world in my wider self |
|
And time and space my spirit's seeing are |
|
I am the god and demon, ghost and elf |
|
I am the wind's speech and the blazing star |
|
All nature is the nursing of my care |
|
I am its struggle and the eternal rest |
|
The world's joy thrilling runs through me, I bear |
|
The sorrow of millions in my lonely breast |
|
I have learned |
|
A close identity |
|
Yet am by nothing bound |
|
That I become |
|
All culture is like this, the unfettered mind |
|
The boundless spirit is more imagination |
|
To achieve great things, we must be self confined |
|
Mastery is revealed in limitation |
|
Carrying in me |
|
The universe's call |
|
I mount to my |
|
Imperishable home |
