i have wrapped the wide world in my wider self

and time and space my spirit's seeing are

i am the angel, fairy, ghost and elf

i am the wind's speed and the blazing star

all nature is the nursling 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 with all

yet am by nothing bound that I become

carrying in me the universe's call

i mount to my imperishable home

i pass beyond time and life on measureless wings

yet still am one with born and unborn things
