Is singing his heart to the night.
His lyre is gold and ebony.
His voice is silver and gold.
Sed God
I would not be so vain as to be no more.
I could not but choose the hardest way;
To follow the seasons and support the majesty of the years;
To sow the seed and to watch it thrust through the soil;
To call the flower from its hiding place

And fadeth away with the first embrace;

To make his fancy like the eagle of the mountain,
And his thought as the tempests of the seas,
Ao give him hands slow in decision,
A heavy with deeration;
To give him gladhat he may sing before us,
And sorrow that he may call unto us,
And then to lay him low,
When the earth in her hunger cries for food;
To raise his soul high above the firmament
That he may foretaste our tomorrow,
And to keep his body groveling in the mire
That he may not fet his yesterday.
Thus shall we rule man unto the end of time,
G the breath that began with his mothers g,
And ends with the lamentation of his children.

Like thee I have khe clay and fashio to breathing forms
That crept out of my dripping fingers unto the marshes
