A little the Dreamer changed his pose of stone. But when the Inconscient's scrupulous work was done And Chance coerced by fixed immutable laws, A scene was set for Nature's conscious play. Then stirred the Spirit's mute immobile sleep; The Force concealed broke dumbly, slowly out. A dream of living woke in Matter's heart, A will to live moved the Inconscient's dust, A freak of living startled vacant Time, Ephemeral in a blank eternity, Infinitesimal in a dead Infinite. A subtler breath quickened dead Matter's forms; The world's set rhythm changed to a conscious cry; A serpent Power twinned the insensible Force. Islands of living dotted lifeless Space And germs of living formed in formless air. A Life was born that followed Matter's law, Ignorant of the motives of its steps; Ever inconstant, yet for ever the same, It repeated the paradox that gave it birth: Its restless and unstable stabilities Recurred incessantly in the flow of Time And purposeful movements in unthinking forms Betrayed the heavings of an imprisoned Will. Waking and sleep lay locked in mutual arms; Helpless and indistinct came pleasure and pain Trembling with the first faint thrills of a World-Soul. A strength of life that could not cry or move, Yet broke into beauty signing some deep delight: An inarticulate sensibility, Throbs of the heart of an unknowing world, Ran through its somnolent torpor and there stirred A vague uncertain thrill, a wandering beat, A dim unclosing as of secret eyes. Infant self-feeling grew and birth was born. A godhead woke but lay with dreaming limbs; Her house refused to open its sealed doors. Insentient to our eyes that only see The form, the act and not the imprisoned God, Life hid in her pulse occult of growth and power A consciousness with mute stifled beats of sense, A mind suppressed that knew not yet of thought, An inert spirit that could only be. At first she raised no voice, no motion dared: Charged with world-power, instinct with living force, Only she clung with her roots to the safe earth, Thrilled dumbly to the shocks of ray and breeze And put out tendril fingers of desire; The strength in her yearning for sun and light Felt not the embrace that made her breathe and live; Absorbed she dreamed content with beauty and hue.
