Rh I see the Great River, and the Falls of Niagara, I see the Amazon and the Paraguay, I see the four great rivers of China, the Amour, the
 * Yellow River, the Yiang-tse, and the Pearl;

I see where the Seine flows, and where the Loire, the
 * Rhone, and the Guadalquiver flow,

I see the windings of the Volga, the Dnieper, the
 * Oder,

I see the Tuscan going down the Arno, and the Venetian
 * along the Po,

I see the Greek seaman sailing out of Egina bay.

I see the site of the old empire of Assyria, and that
 * of Persia, and that of India,

I see the falling of the Ganges over the high rim of
 * Saukara.

I see the place of the idea of the Deity incarnated by
 * avatars in human forms,

I see the spots of the successions of priests on the earth
 * —oracles, sacrificers, brahmins, sabians, lamas,
 * monks, muftis, exhorters;

I see where druids walked the groves of Mona—I see
 * the mistletoe and vervain,

I see the temples of the deaths of the bodies of Gods—
 * I see the old signifiers.

I see Christ once more eating the bread of his last supper,
 * in the midst of youths and old persons,

I see where the strong divine young man, the Hercules,
 * toiled faithfully and long, and then died,

I see the place of the innocent rich life and hapless
 * fate of the beautiful nocturnal son, the full-limbed
 * Bacchus,
