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