The mind is strange
That looks out of my eyes
Labours with my hands,

Whose impulse stirs my dust
And in my soul affirms
Its certainties.

Yet I can close
The eternal mind to all it knows,

Deny
The love that moves in me
When the spirit blows.

This my being
Raised up from time's beginning
May the power use.
