Summary

Portrait of Voltairine De Cleyre Voltairine De Cleyre I Am (1892)

That old, old sleep has left its centurine trace;
I am the plant that dreamed; and lo! still see
That dream-life dwelling on the Human Face.
I slept, I dreamed, I wakened: I am Man!
The hut grows Palaces; the depths breed light
