mysterious earth.<\/p>\n<p>In the spring\u2019s inner depths<br \/>\nI saw the virgin water<br \/>\nflower from its dark birthplace<br \/>\nto delight my mouth,<\/p>\n<p>and it entered deep into my breast\u2026<br \/>\nAnd with its clear streamlets<br \/>\npierced me then and there<br \/>\nwith a sweet wisdom.<\/p>\n<p>When I arose and looked about,<br \/>\nthe mountain, woods and meadow<br \/>\nseemed different to me:<br \/>\neverything seemed other than it was.<\/p>\n<p>In the sky\u2019s lovely dying<br \/>\nthere began to shine,<br \/>\namong the crimsoned cloudbanks,<br \/>\nthe white first quarter of the new moon.<\/p>\n<p>All the world seemed in flower<br \/>\nand I was its soul.<\/p>\n<p>I, the fragrant soul of the meadow,<br \/>\neager to flower and be cut down.<\/p>\n<p>I, the peaceful soul of the flock<br \/>\nwith tinkling bells, half-hidden in the dell.<\/p>\n<p>I, the soul of the woods that murmur<br \/>\nlike the sea, far off on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>And also was I the willow\u2019s soul<br \/>\nthat blesses every font with its clear shade.<\/p>\n<p>I, the dell\u2019s deep soul<br \/>\nwhere mists arise and wake.<\/p>\n<p>And the torrent\u2019s restless soul<br \/>\nthat shrieks in shining waterfall.<\/p>\n<p>I was the blue soul of the pond<br \/>\nthat cons the stranger with an alien eye.<\/p>\n<p>I, the soul of the wind that moves all things<br \/>\nand the lowliness of an unfurling flower.<\/p>\n<p>I was the height of mountain crests\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The clouds caressed me slowly<br \/>\nand in the cloudbank\u2019s overwhelming love,<br \/>\nmy soul serene was forged.<\/p>\n<p>I felt the wild joy of the fountains,<br \/>\nthe gift of snowpacks, surging in my breast<br \/>\nand, in the horizon\u2019s huge unrest,<br \/>\nI felt the tempest\u2019s vast repose.<\/p>\n<p>And when the heavens opened round me<br \/>\nand the sun smiled on my green plain,<br \/>\npeople, from afar, stayed the whole day<br \/>\ngazing upon my sovereign beauty.<\/p>\n<p>But I, quite overcome with troubled longings<br \/>\nof the sea and mountains,<br \/>\nrose firmly to offer heaven<br \/>\nall that was pent-up in my womb and breasts.<\/p>\n<p>At the hour of sunset,<br \/>\ndrinking at the fountain\u2019s freshet,<br \/>\nI have savoured the secrets<br \/>\nof the mysterious earth.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-80590\" data-postid=\"80590\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-80590 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n
