But I care only for that wild moment

When my soul arises and reaches thine.

Wistful voices of wild birds calling—

Far, faint lightning towards the West,—

Twinkling lights of a Tyah homestead,—

Ruddy glow on a girl’s bare breast—

Drifting boats on a mournful River,

Shifting thoughts in a dreaming mind,—

We two, seeking the Sea, together,—

When we reach it,—what shall we find?
