a. r. ammons - still كلمات أغنية

i said i will find what is lowly
and put the roots of my identity
down there:
each day i’ll wake up
and find the lowly nearby
a handy focus and reminder
a ready measure of my significance
the voice by which i would be heard
the wills, the kinds of selfishness
i could
freely adopt as my own:

but though i have looked everywhere
i can find nothing
to give myself to:
everything is

magnificent with existence, is in
surfeit of glory:
nothing is diminished
nothing has been diminished for me:

i said what is more lowly than the grass:
ah, underneath
a ground_crust of dry_burnt moss:
i looked at it closely
and said this can be my habitat: but
nestling in i
found
below the brown exterior
green mechanisms beyond the intellect
awaiting resurrection in rain: so i got up
and ran saying there is nothing lowly in the universe:
i found a beggar:
he had stumps for legs: n0body was paying
him any attention: everybody went on by:
i nestled in and found his life:
there, love shook his body like a devastation:
i said
though i have looked everywhere
i can find nothing lowly
in the universe:

i whirled through transfigurations up and down
transfigurations of size and shape and place:

at one sudden point came still
stood in wonder:
moss, beggar, weed, tick, pine, self, magnificent
with being!
