XX. “U S.”
1
For ever, for ever,The gathering river
Of human life flows on:
We leave but a trace
On the current's face,
And that is lost anon.
2
Our laughter and tears,Our hopes and our fears,
Our spirit and our form,
Like mist disappear
Which silent streams wear
In summer-twilight warm.
59
3
As a dream in our sleepIs our life in the deep
Abyss of space and time,
Whose visions most dim and ideal
Of a being resplendent and real
Are record and prophet sublime.
