English text
- There rolls the deep where grew the tree.
- O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
- There where the long street roars, hath been
- The stillness of the central sea.
- The hills are shadows, and they flow
- From form to form, and nothing stands;
- They melt like mist, the solid lands,
- Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
- But in my spirit will I dwell,
- And dream my dream, and hold it true;
- For tho’ my lips may breathe adieu,
- I cannot think the thing farewell.
