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 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!
