Measure me, sky!Tell me I reach by a songNearer the stars;I have been little so long.Weigh me, high wind!What will your wild scales record?Profit of pain,Joy by the weight of a word.Horizon, reach out,Catch at my hands, stretch me taut,Rim of the world!Widen my eyes by a thought.Sky, be my depth,Wind, be my tolerant height,World, my heart’s span—Loneliness, wings for my flight!

Measure me, sky!Tell me I reach by a songNearer the stars;I have been little so long.

Measure me, sky!

Tell me I reach by a song

Nearer the stars;

I have been little so long.

Weigh me, high wind!What will your wild scales record?Profit of pain,Joy by the weight of a word.

Weigh me, high wind!

What will your wild scales record?

Profit of pain,

Joy by the weight of a word.

Horizon, reach out,Catch at my hands, stretch me taut,Rim of the world!Widen my eyes by a thought.

Horizon, reach out,

Catch at my hands, stretch me taut,

Rim of the world!

Widen my eyes by a thought.

Sky, be my depth,Wind, be my tolerant height,World, my heart’s span—Loneliness, wings for my flight!

Sky, be my depth,

Wind, be my tolerant height,

World, my heart’s span—

Loneliness, wings for my flight!
