Grown within my soul
Is a lone hyacinth

I placed its seed within that certain spring
Where Thetis wrought her partial act

And there it learned innocent pride
Unintended power and unmatched beauty

Constructed within my mind
Is the wall

I placed its bricks on a foundation of bones
And mixed its mortar with my blood

It has no door or window
It cannot be moved
