I heard the spring light whisper Above the dancing stream, "The world is made forever In likeness of a dream.

"I am the law of planets, I am the guide of man; The evening and the morning Are fashioned to my plan.

"I tint the dawn with crimson, I tinge the sea with blue; My track is in the desert, My trail is in the dew.

"I paint the hills with color, And in my magic dome I light the star of evening To steer the traveller home.

"Within the house of being, I feed the lamp of truth With tales of ancient wisdom And prophecies of youth."
