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 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.
