Who move and make—myself—the black, the white,

The good, the bad, of life's environment.

Stand still! black stays black: start again! there 's white

Asserts supremacy: the motion 's all

That colors me my moment: seen as joy?—

I have escaped from sorrow, or that was

Or might have been: as sorrow?—thence shall be

Escape as certain: white preceded black,

Black shall give way to white as duly,—so,

Deepest in black means white most imminent,
