I am unborn as yet, but am delivered giving birth.
From the life in my work I sense the life in myself,
robbed of this mirror, I am as good as laid in earth.
My calling I have brought with me, of my own I perform nothing,
But I am delivered, and delivered see my debt is paid
to the force from which I derive, and which has delegated me.
The kingdom that has summoned me and from which I derive
is it an unborn power that delivers itself while giving birth?
Is it a divine splendour, whose fount is sheer glory?
I do not know, but in my blood is the courage of all longings.
I hammer fire out of darkness, liberate the helpless.
