| I am immortal! I know it! I feel it! Hope floods my heart with delight! Running on air, mad with life, dizzy, reeling, Upward I mount—faith is sight, life is feeling, Hope is the day-star of might! |

| Chance cannot touch me! Time cannot hush me! Fear, hope, and longing, at strife, Sink as I rise, on, on, upward forever, Gathering strength, gaining breath,—naught can sever Me from the Spirit of Life! |
