A Song I rose,broke free of all that bound me;
"Where would you go?""A world I'd find me!"
"Are there not here lush meadows gay,Belowthe seas,abovestarplay?"
"Know,fool,I Seek not to cross over,There to strike rock,or sound the Aether.
They bind so dumb the foot in pain,Their words of love become a chain.
"The world must rise out of myself And to my breast incline itself.
From my life's blood its wellsprings come,My soul's breathits aethereal dome."
I wandered far as I could go,Returned,held worlds above,below.
Within there leaped the stars and sun;
The lightning flashed,and they sank down.
