O wild world! circling through aeons untold
Mid fires of sunrise and sunset,
through flashes of silver and gold,
Grain of dust in a storm,
Atom of sand by the sea,
What is your worth, O world
To the angels of God & me.
He sang this quite suddenly, his rich baritone pealing
out musically on the warm silent air. I listened entranced.
His dark eyes flashed and he sang on...
O wild world! mote in a burning ray
Flung from the spherical Heavens
Millions of years away
Sink in ether or soar!
Live with the planets or die!
What should I care for your fate,
Who am one with the infinite sky.
