When you were tadpole and I was fish
In the Paleozoic time;
And side by side the ebbing tide
We sprawled through the ooze ana slime
Or skittered with many a caudal flip
Through the depths Of the Cambran fen.
My heart was rife with the JOY of life.
For loved you then
Mindless we lived and mindless we loved
And mindless last died:
And deep in the rift Of the Caradoc drift
We slumhered side by side.
The world turned and in the lathe Of time
The hot land heaved amain
Til caught breath from the womb Of deaf
And crent into life again.
We were Amphbians. scaled and tailed.
And drab a dead mans hand
We coiled at ease. meath the dripping trees
Or trailed through the mud sand.
CrOaking and blind with our three -clawed feet
Writing a language dumb,
With never spark in the empty dark
To hint at a life to come.
Yet happy We lived. and happy loved.
And happy died more;
Our forms We're rolled in the clinging mold
Of a Neocoman shore.
The cons came aud the cons fed
And the sleep that wrapped fast
Was riven away in a newer day.
And the night of death was past.
Then light and swift through the Jungle trees
We swung in airy flights,
Or breathed in the balms the fronded palms
In the hush of the moonless nights
ana Oh. Wnat DealtHul years were these.
When hearts chung each to each
When life was flied, and our senses thrilled
In the fsrt faint dawn of speech
Thus life by life. and love by love-
We passed through the cycles strange
And breath by breath, and death by death.
We followed the chain of change,
Till there came time in the line of life
When, the nursing sod.
The shadows broke and the soul awoke
In a strange dim cream of God.

And tusked like the great Cave Bear;
And you my sweet, from head to feet,
