Eternities went by in flight,
And yet you rose not into light.
The first stars showered upon the Void
And young heavens rose and were destroyed;
And still you did not rise to be.
Your bubble did not break the sea.
But now that you have heard the Voice
And risen to the world of choice
Now that the stars look down on you,
What is the work that you will do
What lofty life, what valiant deed.
Ashine with splendOr and with speed?
