| | | HARK to the wind of the world! | |
| The shafts of my life are far-hurled— | |
| I cannot belong to you!… | |
| I belong to the cataract, leaping; | |
| I belong to the west-wind, weeping; | 5 |
| I belong to the white swan, sleeping; | |
| I belong to the wild curlew! | |
| |
| Away! I say it must end! | |
| Call me not, call me not friend— | |
| I am false for I must be true! | 10 |
| I belong to the cedar, swinging; | |
| I belong to the silence, ringing; | |
| I belong to the noon-sun, singing | |
| Where the singing god-reed grew. | |
| |
| Go further, further away! | 15 |
| I will walk with you yet, some day, | |
| But I will not belong to you. | |
| I belong to the eagle, flying; | |
| I belong to the sea-tide, sighing; | |
| I belong to the wilderness, crying; | 20 |
| I belong to dawn and the dew! | | | | |
