I Am the Wind

By Zoë Akins

I AM the wind that wavers,

You are the certain land;

I am the shadow that passes

Over the sand.

I am the leaf that quivers,

You the unshaken tree;

You are the stars that are steadfast,

I am the sea.

You are the light eternal—

Like a torch I shall die;

You are the surge of deep music,

I but a cry!
