TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 3. IN THE DEEP CAVE OF THE HEART by EDWARD CARPENTER

First Line: IN THE DEEP CAVE OF THE HEART, FAR DOWN
Last Line: WORDS FLOAT, AND FRAGRANCE OF TIME ASCENDS, AND LIFE EVER CIRCLING.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE; MANKIND; HUMAN RACE;

IN the deep cave of the heart, far down,
Running under the outward shows of the world and of people,
Running under geographies, continents, under the fields and the roots of
the grasses and trees, under the little thoughts and dreams of men, and the
history of racer,
Deep, far down,
I see feel and hear wondrous and divine things.
Voices and faces are there; arms of lovers, known and unknown, reach
forward and fold me;
Words float, and fragrance of Time ascends, and Life ever circling.
