After the blast of lightning from the East, The flourish of loud clouds, the Chariot Throne; After the drums of time have rolled and ceased, And by the bronze west long retreat is blown, Shall life renew these bodies? Of a truth All death will He annul, all tears assuage? - Fill the void veins of Life again with youth, And wash, with an immortal water, Age? When I do ask white Age he saith not so: "My head hangs weighed with snow." And when I hearken to the Earth, she saith: "My fiery heart shrinks, aching. It is death. Mine ancient scars shalls not be glorified, Nor my titanic tears, the sea, be dried."

D'une vérité Annulera-t-elle toute mort, tarira-t-elle toutes les larmes ? Ces veines vides de Vie, les remplira-t-elle à nouveau de jeunesse Et d'une eau immortelle purifiera-t-elle l'Âge ? Lorsque j'interroge l'Âge blanc, il ne dit pas : « Ma tête penche sous le poids de la neige. » Et lorsque j'écoute la Terre, elle dit : « Mon cœur se serre de douleur. Il est mort. Mes anciennes cicatrices ne doivent pas être glorifiées, Ni la mer de mes titanesques larmes asséchée. »
