I have walked through the threefold fire
and I have become the flame.

Wonder, Mystery and Beauty—

these three have been my true friends.

When all others pointed fingers
or have fallen, fallen away,

Sun, moon and stars have stood with me

in last remains of the day.

So closes the curtain tonight,

so falls sudden sword of light.

All-consuming creative pow’r
rises in this final hour,

And still I stand alone in love.

just another burning tower.
