I am not content To share the timeless tomb With all the world-- To be tread upon, Nor shoved aside By metal monsters Of industrial progress; Nor rest in muck, Nor be the sorry sight Of half a man! When gone heartbeat and breath And ash supplants my form, I want to ride the storms That go howling down the labyrinths Of an ageless world-- Thrill to their mad frenzy, Warmed by the lightning's flash And feel near crash of thunder-- Nor be afraid! Make tenuous trips Through tiny twirls of atoms, Then the searching sweep of Saturn As he sails around the sun. To see the fission and the fusion Make thermo-nuclear Power From uranium and hydrogen.
