White haired and hoary bearded who art thou	A
That speedest on albeit bent with age	B
Even as a youth that followeth after dreams	C
Whence are thy feet and whither trends thy way	D
	-
Stayed not his hurried steps but as he passed	E
His low hoarse answer fell upon the wind	F
Go thou and question yonder mountain peaks	G
Go thou and ask the hoary heaving main	H
Nay if thou wilt the great globed silent stars	I
That sail innumerable the shoreless sea	J
And let the eldest answer if he may	D
Lo the unnumbered myriad myriad worlds	K
Rolling around innumerable suns	L
Through all the boundless bottomless abyss	M
Are but as grains of sand upwhirled and flung	N
By roaring winds and scattered on the sea	J
I have beheld them and my hand hath sown	O
	-
Far twinkling faint through dim immeasured depths	P
Behold Alcyone a grander sun	Q
Round him thy solar orb with all his brood	R
Glimmering revolves Lo from yon mightier sphere	S
Light flying faster than the thoughts of men	T
Swift as the lightnings cleave the glowering storm	U
Shot on and on through dim ethereal space	V
Ere yet it touched thy little orb of Earth	W
Five hundred cycles of thy world and more	X
Round him thy Sun obedient to his power	Y
Thrice tenfold swifter than the swiftest wing	Z
His aeon orbit million yeared and vast	E
Wheels through the void Him flaming I beheld	E
When first he flashed from out his central fire	Y
A mightier orb beyond thine utmost ken	T
Round upon round innumerable hath swung	N
Thy sun upon his circuit grander still	A2
His vaster orbit far Alcyone	T
Wheels and obeys the mightier orb unseen	T
	-
Seest thou yon star paved pathway like an arch	B2
Athwart thy welkin wondrous zone of stars	I
Dim in the distance circling one huge sun	T
To whom thy sun is but a spark of fire	Y
To whom thine Earth is but a grain of dust	E
Glimmering around him myriad suns revolve	C2
And worlds innumerable as sea beach sands	D2
Ere on yon Via Lactea rolled one star	E2
Lo I was there and trode the mighty round	E
Yea ere the central orb was fired and hung	N
A lamp to light the chaos Star on star	E2
System on system myriad worlds on worlds	K
Beyond the utmost reach of mortal ken	T
Beyond the utmost flight of mortal dream	F2
Yet have mine eyes beheld the birth of all	G2
But whence I am I know not We are three	J
Known yet unknown unfathomable to man	T
Time Space and Matter pregnant with all life	H2
Immortals older than the oldest orb	I2
We were and are forever out of us	J2
Are all things suns and satellites midge and man	T
Worlds wax and wane suns flame and glow and die	E
Through shoreless space their scattered ashes float	E
Unite cohere and wax to worlds again	T
Changing yet changless new but ever old	E
No atom lost and not one atom gained	E
Though fire to vapor melt the adamant	E
Or feldspar fall in drops of summer rain	T
And in the atoms sleep the germs of life	H2
Myriad and multiform and marvelous	J2
Throughout all vast immeasurable space	V
In every grain of dust in every drop	K2
Of water waiting but the thermal touch	L2
Yea in the womb of nature slumber still	A2
Wonders undreamed and forms beyond compare	M2
Minds that will cleave the chaos and unwind	E
The web of fate and from the atom trace	V
The worlds the suns the universal law	N2
And from the law the Master yea and read	E
On yon grand starry scroll the Master's will	A2
	-
Yea but what Master Lift the veil O Time	O2
Where lie the bounds of Space and whither dwells	P2
The Power unseen the infinite Unknown	T
Faint from afar the solemn answer fell	Q2
	-
AEon on aeon cycles myriad yeared	E
Swifter than light out flashing from the suns	L
My flying feet have sought the bounds of space	V
And found not nor the infinite Unknown	T
I see the Master only in his work	R2
I see the Ruler only in his law	N2
Time hath not touched the great All father's throne	T
Whose voice unheard the Universe obeys	S2
Who breathes upon the deep and worlds are born	T
Worlds wax and wane suns crumble into dust	E
But matter pregnant with immortal life	H2
Since erst the white haired centuries wheeled the vast	E
Hath lost nor gained Who made it and who made	E
The Maker Out of nothing nothing Lo	T2
The worm that crawls from out the sun touched sand	E
What knows he of the huge round rolling Earth	W
Yet more than thou of all the vast Beyond	E
Or ever wilt Content thee let it be	J
Know only this there is a Power unknown	T
Master of life and Maker of the worlds	K
