The One who could repeat the Summer day－1
Were greater than itself－though He
Minutest of Mankind should be－
And He－could reproduce the Sun－4
At period of going down－
The Lingering－and the Stain－I mean－
When Orient have been outgrown 7
And Occident－become Unknown－
His Name－remain－
Were greater than itself－though He
Minutest of Mankind should be－
And He－could reproduce the Sun－4
At period of going down－
The Lingering－and the Stain－I mean－
When Orient have been outgrown 7
And Occident－become Unknown－
His Name－remain－
