and this is it, this sunlit plain,

it steps out of its own way
or is trampled and torn asunder,
and after - in the distance, when it is gone,
it is the silence, my friend
and my waking thought, that all is one ;
it burns now as stars up there
and sees itself through my tired eyes -

from the depth and the greatest span
I say to you my friend,
it is the spirit that sleep-walks as man.
