What eyes look thus upon the earth,
What eyes, which lack the smart of tears?
Even the eyes of the god’s soul.
O wisdom, sweet of many lives,
O love of many thousand years!
Whose mind hath not the biting woe,
Whose mind is all unstirred of fears?
Even the mind of the tried god.
O knowledge of thy many lives,
O calm of many thousand years!
Who knoweth the lore of all the stars,
Who hath the eyes of all the seers?
Even the god who passeth all,
O thought and light of many lives,
Perfect from many thousand years!
