The answering voice

by Unknown

I AM THE WIND

I am the wind that wavers,

You are the certain land;

I am the shadow that passes

Over the sand.

I am the leaf that quivers,

You—the unshaken tree;

You are the stars that are steadfast,

I am the sea.

You are the light eternal,

Like a torch I shall die....

You are the surge of deep music,

I—but a cry!
