a
I feel I am. I only know I am.
Earth's prison chilled my body with its dram

b
Of dullness, soaring thoughts destroyed,
And plod upon the earth as dull and void.

a
I fled to solitude from passion's dream.
O but strife pursued. I only know I am.

b
I was created in the race
Of men disdaining bounds of place 
And time, a spirit, thought sublime,
Tracing creation like my Maker free,
Like eternity,
Spurning Earth's vain and soul- 
debasing thrall.

a
But now I only know I am. That's all.
