I AND YOU Prof. Carl Bauer Last night I reclined in my easy chair — I was glad to be left alone — When one by one the echoes awoke From the silence of wood and stone. And I knew in my heart, With a sudden start. That the quietest night has its stir and stare When the I is met by its shadowy You, When I in m ' soul am cleft in two. With myself I ' m never and never alone. How I wish I could strangle my double! We ' re one, we ' re two, the I and the You, And yet we do not make a couple. And 1 know in m heart, ' Tis not my part For the faults of my You to atone. The echo, the shadow I must disclaim Though it seems with myself forever the same. The You that is I, is a troublesome guest That no charm is potent to banish. To the You that is You, I take my flight If the apparition might vanish. And I know in my heart How to fence and to guard For the peace of the I. A friendly breast Will open to the I, as in years gone by. Out of blackest night an azure sky. And I traveled back through the aisles of time And forward again to the end. From the pointing finger of scorn in the night, From my You myself to defend. And I knew in my heart; I was not thus jarred. The I and the You made harmonious chime When mother caressed me. I ' ll again be a child. And I fancied myself to myself reconciled. If I were you — How stern the rebuke! How I hung my head in shame! The You that is You, before the I Rose up in towering frame. And I knew in my heart. From the very start. Though I were the son of a mighty duke Or the heir of a royal highness. There was no escape from my I-ness. Nor duke nor king owned me his son. I was left to my humble I-ness. The distant gaze across the gulf Increased my natural shyness. And I knew in my heart ' I ' hat my life was marred. Weighed down with the load of a Ion, And I longed for the stern, ah the slcrn rebuke, If I were vnu, for the aiigr word frcmi |(i e ' s great book. 23
