There is that in me

There is that in me -- I do not know what it is --

but I know it is in me.

Wrench'd and sweaty -- calm and cool then my body becomes,

I sleep -- I sleep long.

I do not know it -- it is without name -- it is a word unsaid,

It is not in any dictionary, utterance, symbol.

Something it swings on more than the earth I swing on,

To it the creation is the friend whose embracing awakes me.

Perhaps I might tell more. Outlines! I plead for my brothers and sisters.

Do you see O my brothers and sisters?

It is not chaos or death -- it is form, union, plan --

it is eternal life -- it is Happiness.
