Classic Poem

Look into thought & say what dost thou see
Dive, be not fearful how dark the waves flow
Sink through the surge & bring pearls up to me
Deeper ay deeper, the fairest lie low

I have dived I have sought them, but none have I found
flowed by
As I sunk through the void depths so black & profound
How dim died the sun & how far hung the sky

What had I given to hear the soft sweep
Of a breeze bearing life through that vast realm of death
Thoughts wear untroubled & dreams were asleep
The spirit lay dreadless & hopeless beneath
