Birds of Passage（一）

    1

    COME said the Muse，

    Sing me a song no poet yet has chanted，

    Sing me the universal.

    In this broad earth of ours，

    Amid the measureless grossness and the slag，

    Enclosed and safe within its central heart，

    Nestles the seed perfection.

    By every life a share or more or less，

    None born but it is born， conceal'd or unconceal'd the

    seed is waiting.
