PRIMITIVE, by                    
First Line: Oh we have worshipped water
Last Line: And skyward leaps with flame.
Subject(s): Desire


Oh we have worshipped water
And we have worshipped fire,
For there is something in us
More moving than desire,

Something without a country,
Something without a name,
Which seaward flows with rivers
And skyward leaps with flame.
