The Sacred World's Unquestioned

1896

The sacred world's unquestioned Pharaoh -
I filled it with my spirit's breath
And shall not ever have a hero
Nor in the heavens nor on earth.

I'll hold in secret that I breed on
My own sacramental light;
And toil like slave, but for my freedom,
I call for darkness, peace and night.
