My Light With Yours

Topics: classic

I     When the sea has devoured the ships,     And the spires and the towers     Have gone back to the hills.     And all the cities     Are one with the plains again.     And the beauty of bronze,     And the strength of steel     Are blown over silent continents,     As the desert sand is blown -     My dust with yours forever.     II     When folly and wisdom are no more,     And fire is no more,     Because man is no more;     When the dead world slowly spinning     Drifts and falls through the void -     My light with yours     In the Light of Lights forever!
