PANDORA’S SONG

(From “The Fire-Bringer”)

I stood within the heart of God;

It seemed a place I had known:

(I was blood-sister to the clod,

Blood-brother to the stone.)

I found my love and labor there,

My house, my raiment, meat and wine,

My ancient rage, my old despair,—

Yea, all things that were mine.
