According to Maori mythology the god Tiki created Man by taking a piece of clay and moistening it with his own blood Woman was the offspring of a sunbeam and a sylvan echo	A
THUS God made Man to cope with destiny	B
Taking the common clay God moistened it	C
With His red blood and so for ever lit	C
That sombre grossness with divinity	B
So Man for ever finds him in the mesh	D
Of clogging earth and though divine hopes thrill	E
And flush his leaping heart it faints for still	E
His dreams are pinioned in the gyves of flesh	D
Yet ever God's blood in him courses free	B
And penetrated with eternal hope	F
Up Evolution's long uneven slope	F
Man lifts him from his sodden ancestry	B
And though his eyes the far goal cannot see	B
And half the terrors of the dark he knows	G
Yet with an inward fire his courage glows	G
He bears the torch of immortality	B
But Woman from a memory had birth	H
Into the forest's dignity of shade	I
A sudden sunbeam groped a soft hand laid	I
In silent benediction on the earth	H
	-
Then filtered through the green a song forlorn	J
Of some forgotten bird Lo in a mist	K
Of love the sunbeam and the echo kissed	K
And Woman sunlit memory was born	J
So light and melody to her belong	L
The sunlight in the dying echo blurred	M
So Woman came a vision and a word	M
From the unknown a sunbeam and a song	L
So ever through the forest of the years	N
Shall Man pursue and still pursue the gleam	O
That wavers and is gone and through his dream	O
The fainting echo of a song he hears	P
And when at last his weary feet are led	Q
Into the sacred glade and she stands there	R
He takes her close all song and sunlit hair	R
The gleam has faded and the song has fled	Q
And though with blinded eyes he cannot see	B
She haunts him like a word that he knows not	S
That is not quite remembered nor forgot	S
Some thought that hovers near a memory	B
As out from Heaven she leans on earth there falls	T
The sunbeam of her hair golden and fine	U
And drops an echo of a voice divine	U
A voice that ever vainly calls and calls	T
	-
And though she spill a splendour and a fire	V
Upon the dark her glory is unknown	W
Behind the screen of self she dwells alone	W
She cannot come as close as her desire	V
So ever like a pale moon drowned in mist	K
Her face is vague a barrier intervenes	X
And ever from her loneliness she leans	X
With waiting eyes all wistful to be kissed	K
