What wonder if my memory Would roam the sea or land, Would soar across an azure sky Or grovel in the sand, When in my body glows a spark That through all time has burned; From throbbing life to throbbing life Long eons ere man learned To stand erect, to fly, to swim Or crawl on slimy sod It came, a steady undimmed flame, From origin in God. So long as I may hold this spark It matters not to me If man would call it "Chromosome" Or "Immortality." |
