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 nursling of my care death metal 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 death metal 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
