Nothing is ever really lost, or can be lost, + 

No birth, identity, form⁠—no object of the world, + 

Nor life, nor force, nor any visible thing; + 

Appearance must not foil, nor shifted sphere confuse thy brain. + 

Ample are time and space⁠—ample the fields of Nature. + 

The body, sluggish, aged, cold⁠—the embers left from earlier fires, + 

The light in the eye grown dim, shall duly flame again; + 

The sun now low in the west rises for mornings and for noons continual; + 

To frozen clods ever the spring’s invisible law returns, + 

With grass and flowers and summer fruits and corn. + 
