歌词
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race
And the human race is filled with passion
And medicine, law, business, engineering--these are noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for
To quote from Whitman
'O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring
Of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish
What good amid these, O me, O life?'
That you are here - that life exists, an identity
That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse
That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse
What will your verse be?"
