Shall we, too, rise forgetful from our sleep, br And shall my soul that lies within your hand br Remember nothing, as the blowing sand br Forgets the palm where long blue shadows creep br When winds along the darkened desert sweep? br Or would it still remember, tho' it spanned br A thousand heavens, while the planets fanned br The vacant ether with their voices deep? br Soul of my soul, no word shall be forgot, br Nor yet alone, beloved, shall we see br The desolation of extinguished suns, br Nor fear the void wherethro' our planet runs, br For still together shall we go and not br Fare forth alone to front eternity.
