"An everlasting spring I see
Of beauty and of love
In earth, sea, rock, stone, flower, and tree,
And in the heavens above.

"All natural things my soul sustain,
Supplying all its needs;
From them that full content I gain
Men vainly seek in creeds.

"Glories where'er I gaze appear
Of colour, beauty, form;
The music of one Voice I hear
Alike in calm and storm.

"All things transfigured in my sight
A greater radiance gain,
I see the very light of light,
The heaven of heavens attain.

"One impulse ruling all I feel
That in one chain doth bind
What some call real and some ideal,
Sense, substance, soul, and mind:

"The soul that unifieth all,
And all doth animate;
That finds no grain of sand too small,
No universe too great.

"Divine ideas all unsought
My spirit apprehends:
Ever the greatness of my thought
My power of speech transcends.
