I Am the Wind

by Zoe Akins

I am the wind that wavers,   You are the certain land; I am the shadow that passes   Over the sand. I am the leaf that quivers,   You the unshaken tree; You are the stars that are steadfast,   I am the sea. You are the light eternal—   Like a torch I shall die; You are the surge of deep music,   I but a cry!
