O slack-water of time! O diffusion of days!
I once set out to find the edge of the world
but weary self double-crossed me
and home-bounded the way.
O slack-water of time! O diffusion of days!
Perpetually learning novel tinges of grey,
I have grown up and old.
O slack-water of time! O diffusion of days!
I had once set out to find the edge of the world.
