High on a peak of limitless ascent
My soul stood magnificent. --
Endless the spaces that lay beyond,
Fathomless beneath,
And far above -- the starless realms
That no man knows.
Silent, serene, subdued with beauty,
Gazed I on Eternity,
And through the inevitable ages stood
And knew no end to time.
A burning soul in a formless sphere
That melted into night,
I stood alone and knew no fear, --
Radiant upon the starless precipice of birth.
