Analysis of Earth! my Likeness!

   EARTH! my likeness!
   Though you look so impassive, ample and spheric there,
   I now suspect that is not all;
   I now suspect there is something fierce in you, eligible to burst
         forth;
   For an athlete is enamour'd of me--and I of him;
   But toward him there is something fierce and terrible in me, eligible
         to burst forth,
   I dare not tell it in words--not even in these songs.
