I Am
I am! The ages on the ages roll:
And what I m,I was and I shall be:
by slow growth filling higher Destiny,
And Widening,ever,to the widening goal.
I m the Stone that slept;down deep in me
That old,old sleep has left its centurine trace;
I m the plant that dreamed;and lo!still see
That dream-life dwelling on the Human face.
I slept,I dreamed,I wakened:I am MAN!
The hut grows palaces;the depths breed light;
Still on!Forms pass;but Form yields kinglier Might!
The Singer,dying where his song began,
In Me yet lives;and yet again shall he
Unseal the lips of greater songs To Be;
For mine the thousand tongues of Immortality.
