Above the infinite watery plain,

To foam and sparkle in the sun

A moment ere it sink again.

The eternal undulation runs:

A man, I die; perchance to be,

Next life, a white-throat on the wind,

A daffodil on Tempe’s lea.

They lied who said that Pan was dead:

Life was, life is, and life shall be.

So take away your crucifix—
