Fate

by (1875–1940)

Listen in the reader

Thro' countless æons sunless and remote A Soul went searching for its spirit mate, Thro' star-stained space, o'er wind-swept deep, afloat, Forever desolate.

Anon, another spirit, lone of heart Goes forth thro' voiceless void to seek its mate; Eftsoon they meet, these twain, strike hands ... and part! And this is Fate.
