Here, said the ocean to the ship
 
And here, said the towering sails to the wind
 
It was good, and there was evening
 
Here, said the body to music
 
O hear, said the lyre to the bones of the ear
 
And it was good, and there was morning
 
Here, said the breath, said the murmuring heart
 
Said the blank face of paper to the ink
