名人诗歌|Old Age Echoes（一）

TO SOAR IN FREEDOM AND IN FULLNESS OF POWER

I HAVE not so much emulated^{1 the birds that musically sing，}

I have abandon'd myself to flights， broad circles.

The hawk^{2， the seagull， have far more possess'd me than the}

canary or mocking-bird，

I have not felt to warble and trill， however sweetly，

I have felt to soar in freedom and in the fullness of power，

joy， volition^3.
