| | | THE IMMORTAL spirit hath no bars | |
| To circumscribe its dwelling-place; | |
| My soul hath pastured with the stars | |
| Upon the meadow-lands of space. | |
| |
| My mind and ear at times have caught, | 5 |
| From realms beyond our mortal reach, | |
| The utterance of eternal thought | |
| Of which all nature is the speech. | |
| |
| And high above the seas and lands, | |
| On peaks just tipped with morning light, | 10 |
| My dauntless spirit mutely stands | |
| With eagle wings outspread for flight. | | | | |
