5 | I COME from nothing; but from where Come the undying thoughts I bear? Down through long links of death and birth, From the past poets of the earth – My immortality is there. |
|
10 | I am like the blossom of an hour; But long, long vanished sun and shower Awoke my breath i' the young world's air. I track the past back everywhere – Through seed and flower, and seed and flower. |
|
15 | Or I am like a stream that flows Full of the cold springs that arose In morning lands, in distant hills; And down the plain my channel fills With melting of forgotten snows. |
|
20 | Voices I have not heard possessed My own fresh songs; my thoughts are blessed With relics of the far unknown. And mixed with memories not my own The sweet streams throng into my breast. |
|
25 | Before this life began to be, The happy songs that wake in me Woke long ago and far apart. Heavily on this little heart Presses this immortality. |
