frank herbert's "Try to Remember"

Nature building Nature's thunder am I,
Red roses budding
And the trout thudding water
And the moon pounding out stars
On an ocean wake --
All these am I!
A fast hurling motion am I!
What  you think I am -- that I am not!
Dreams tell your senses all my names:
Not harshly loud or suddenly neglectful, sarcastic, 
	preoccupied or rebukeful --
But murmuring.

You abandoned a twelve-hour day for a twelve-hour night
To meddle carefully with eternity!
Then you realize the cutting hesitancy
That prepares a star for wishing ...
When you see my proper image --
A candle flickering am I.
Then you will feel the lonely intercourse of the stars.
Remember! Remember! Remember!
