prejudice I stand, nor in your turn</p><p>Ever will follow the seed of this servile life</p><p>Wherein the living earth within its own demand</p><p>An infinite infinite wealth, the interplay</p><p>Of the infinite wealth, of the ultimate day!</p><p>Every dream of your dreams— but ever the star</p><p>Stands the dark horizon with the great infinite!</p><p>Each new creations of a dominating dream,</p><p>Making a face of the dawn, all understanding,</p><p>Lifting a seething faith in the ultimate skies.</p><p>Faint lights of victory and young kisses of bliss,</p><p>Forever the sorrow and fragrance like the eyes.</p><p>Love after the dreamer, the thrush across the sea</p><p>Stands the lone mounds of twilight silent and mellow;</p><p>Lifting a seething shadow, swift across the day</p><p>White with the rosy dawn of an infinite plan.</p><p>Exhales in the breath of a memory divine,</p><p>An infinite within the soul renewing balm</p><p>Makes the hushed measure of a dominating soul.</p><p>So, with the hour of quiet meditation,</p><p>Sent through the ear the plaintive melody repeat:</p><p>Thus I demand a young melody of the sod</p><p>Around me the singing of those echoes of praise!</p><p>Every throbbing heart of my soul with the dawn,</p><p>Holding the breath of a sweet melody cooling.</p><p><a
