Through what fierce incarnations, furled / In fire and darkness, did I go, / Ere I was worthy in the world / To see a dandelion grow?
Well, if in any woes or wars / I bought my naked right to be, / Grew worthy of the grass, nor gave / The wren, my brother, shame for me.
But what shall God not ask of him / In the last time when all is told, / Who saw her stand beside the hearth, / The firelight garbing her in gold?
