I Am Thee

Oh wild sweet wind, I am thee, I am thee;
I am the air's laughing breath.
I am thee, Life, and I am thee, Light;
And too I am thee, O Death.

Oh shaken-winged dawn, I am thee, I am thee,
Dancing on the dew left.
I am thee, Mind, and I am thee, Heart;
And too I am thee, O Death.

Oh summer lightning, I am thee, I am thee,
Of anything but speed bereft.
I am thee, Wisdom; I am thee, Laughter;
And too I am thee, O Death.

Oh sweeping ocean, I am thee, I am thee,
Mad with poetry's breath.
I am thee, Life, and I am thee, Light;
And too I am thee, O Death.
