I AM THE BUILDER by MIRIAM VEDDER

First Line: I AM THE BUILDER OF DREAMS THAT CRUMBLE
Last Line: I AM LIFE.
Subject(s): WELLESLEY COLLEGE;
I AM the builder of dreams that crumble
Of hopes that scatter
Of griefs that are forgotten
Of love that perishes.
The years pass,
Death passes,
I remain.
I am more terrible than time,
I am more conscienceless than death,
I create only to destroy --
I am life.
