Set Free

I revel in flowers without let,

An atom at random in space;

My soul dwells in regions ethereal,

And the world is my dreaming-place.

As the tops of the ocean I tower,

As the winds of the air spreading wide,

I am 'stablished in might and dominion and power,

With the universe ranged at my side.

Before me the sun, moon, and stars,

Behind me the phoenix doth clang;

In the morning I lash my leviathans,

And I bathe my feet in Fusang.
