The Two Brothers + 

In the grotto the forest designed, + 

Where the firefly first dreamed of the sun + 

And the cricket first chirped to the blind + 

Zoophyte⁠—in the cave of the mind + 

We were born and our cradle is one. + 

We are brothers: together we dwelt + 

Unknown and unheard and unseen + 

For aeons; together we felt + 

The urge of the forces that melt + 

The rocks into willowy green. + 

For aeons together we drifted + 

In the molten abysses of flame, + 

While the Cycles our heritage sifted + 

From the vapor and ooze, and uplifted + 

The image that now bears our name. + 

I am God: thou art Man: but the light + 

That mothers the planets, the sea + 

Of star-dust that roofs every height + 

Of the Universe, the gulfs of the night⁠— + 

They are surging in thee as in me. + 

But out of the Chaos, to lead us, + 

The Giants that borrow our eyes + 

And lend us their shoulders, must heed us;⁠— + 

They yield us their purpose, they deed us + 

Forever the worlds and the skies. + 
