The circle of the Earth is the head of a great drum; <br />With the day, it moves upward - booming; <br />With the night, it moves downward - booming; <br />The day and the night are its song. <br /> <br />I am very small, as I dance upon the drum-head; <br />I am like a particle of dust, as I dance upon the drum-head; <br />Above me in the sky is the shining ball of the drumstick. <br /> <br />I dance upward with the day; <br />I dance downward with the night; <br />Some day I shall dance afar into space like a particle of dust. <br /> <br />Who is the Drummer who beats upon the earth-drum? <br />Who is the Drummer who makes me to dance his song?<br /><br />Anonymous Americas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-great-drum/
