Water

Owns all, possesses nothing,
Service bent, never spent
Ancestor of all living things,
Steams upward heat held glorified,
As stretching body of the sky
To draw down from heaven grace-

Shower made falls fast and thin
On oldest survivor, Earth-
All ears, listen through the ear
Of each dropp eternal music
Whose separate consciousness
Dances the rhythm of the waves.
