Who am I, who Speaks from the dust, Who looks from the clay? Who hears For the mute stone, For fragile water feels With finger and bone? Who for the forest breathes the evening, Sees for the rose, Who knows What the bird sings? Who am I, who for the sun fears The demon dark, In order holds Atom and chaos? Who out of nothingness has gazed On the beloved face? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CAPELLA by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA AFTER LOOKING UP INTO ONE TOO MANY CAMERAS by HICOK.
