IMMORTALITY, by                    
First Line: My window is the open sky
Last Line: And pass the sword from hand to hand!


MY window is the open sky,
The flower in farthest wood is mine;
I am the heir to all gone by,
The eldest son of all the line.
And when the robbers Time and Death
Athwart my path conspiring stand,
I cheat them with a clod, a breath,
And pass the sword from hand to hand!
