| By a Western Spinning Dervish | B |

| I SPIN I spin around around | C |
| And close my eyes | D |
| And let the bile arise | D |
| From the sacred region of the soul s Profound | C |
| Then gaze upon the world how strange how new | E |
| The earth and heaven are one | F |
| The horizon line is gone | G |
| The sky how green the land how fair and blue | E |
| Perplexing items fade from my large view | E |
| And thought which vexed me with its false and true | E |
| Is swallowed up in Intuition this | H |
| This is the sole true mode | A |
| Of reaching God | I |
| And gaining the universal synthesis | J |
| Which makes All One while fools with peering eyes | D |
| Dissect divide and vainly analyse | D |
| So round and round and round again | K |
| How the whole globe swells within my brain | L |
| The stars inside my lids appear | M |
| The murmur of the spheres I hear | N |
| Throbbing and beating in each ear | N |
| Right in my navel I can feel | O |
| The centre of the world s great wheel | O |
| Ah peace divine bliss dear and deep | P |
| No stay no stop | Q |
| Like any top | Q |
| Whirling with swiftest speed I sleep | P |
| O ye devout ones round me coming | R |
| Listen I think that I am humming | R |
| No utterance of the servile mind | S |
| With poor chop logic rules agreeing | R |
| Here shall ye find | S |
| But inarticulate burr of man s unsundered being | R |
| Ah could we but devise some plan | T |
| Some patent jack by which a man | T |
| Might hold himself ever in harmony | U |
| With the great whole and spin perpetually | U |
| As all things spin | V |
| Without within | V |
| As Time spins off into Eternity | U |
| And Space into the inane Immensity | U |
| And the Finite into God s Infinity | U |
| Spin spin spin spin | V |
