IN ME

  Hello, Yonder Tree!
  Thou dost breathe in me, in me;
  O Fast-footed River!
  Thy shining meandering quiver
  Declares itself
  Through myself;
  Thou dost shine through me, in me.
  O Huge Himalaya
  With snowy sovereign white regalia!
  In my mind doth rest thy throne—
    Thy home
    In me, in me.
  O Ocean! endless to the eye
  In boundless stretches thou dost lie;
  But to me thou art small:
  A tiny drop upon a ball,—
  Thou art in me, in me.
  O Endless Sky!
So vast to eye,—
In some brighter age or day
When I’ll cast my cares away
On thee will sail my better boat, bright and gay,
On to thy shore
To find, I’m sure,
Thy border land—in me.
O Distant Heav’ns!
O Secret One and Angels Seven!
In my sphere you all I see,
In me, in me, in me!
