EARTH, WATER, AIR AND FIRE
In
clarity of clear crystal,
In
depth of dark rock,
In
weight of world's matter,
In
moulding silent stone,
In
bones of the bare globe's darkness;
Is
built earth's form.
The
leaping, lashing ocean's swell,
The
lapping, lulling ripples' wash,
The
glistening, swirling rapid's flow,
The
tumbling, twinkling fall of raindrops,
And
the still lake's sunlit silence,
Weave
the water's world.
Rolling
in air-borne currents,
Whirling
in hurricane's wrath,
Whistling
in the winter's wind,
Rustling
on a breeze's breath,
Rushing
through the raging storm;
Breathes
air's freedom.
Fury
of unfolding flames,
Flight
of their dancing forms,
Heat
of the heaven's sun,
Fire
of its celestial sphere,
And
the sleeping volcano's invisible power,
Flame
with fire's force.
