Passion.
As a weed beneath the ocean, As a pool beneath a tree Answers with each breath or motion An imperious mastery; So my spirit swift with passion Finds in every look a sign, Catching in some wondrous fashion Every mood that governs thine. In a moment it will borrow, Flashing in a gusty train, Laughter and desire and sorrow Anger and delight and pain.
