Earth nursed … the inhabiting flame, …
There was a movement and a passionate call,
A rainbow dream, a hope of golden change;
Some secret wing …
A growing sense of something new and rare
And beautiful …
… a faint whisper …
And wonder lifted up its bardic voice.
Her name, … the sun-word …
A key to a Light …
Exalted and sweet …
Chanted … from the epic lyre … chanted …
