Flow flow the waves hatedA
Accursed adoredB
The waves of mutationC
No anchorage isD
Sleep is not death is notE
Who seem to die liveF
House you were born inG
Friends of your spring timeH
Old man and young maidI
Day's toil and its guerdonG
They are all vanishingJ
Fleeing to fablesK
Cannot be mooredL
See the stars through themM
Through treacherous marblesK
Know the stars yonderN
The stars everlastingJ
Are fugitive alsoO
And emulate vaultedA
The lambent heat lightningJ
And fire fly's flightP
-
When thou dost returnG
On the wave's circulationG
Behold the shimmerN
The wild dissipationG
And out of endeavorN
To change and to flowO
The gas become solidA
And phantoms and nothingsQ
Return to be thingsQ
And endless imbroglioO
Is law and the worldR
Then first shalt thou knowO
That in the wild turmoilS
Horsed on the ProteusQ
Thou ridest to powerN
And to enduranceQ
