CHORUS OF SPIRITSA
-
FIRST SPIRITB
Palace roof of cloudless nightsC
Paradise of golden lightsC
Deep immeasurable vastD
Which art now and which wert thenE
Of the Present and the PastD
Of the eternal Where and WhenE
Presence chamber temple homeF
Ever canopying domeF
Of acts and ages yet to comeG
-
Glorious shapes have life in theeH
Earth and all earth s companyH
Living globes which ever throngI
Thy deep chasms and wildernessesC
And green worlds that glide alongI
And swift stars with flashing tressesC
And icy moons most cold and brightJ
And mighty suns beyond the nightJ
Atoms of intensest lightJ
-
Even thy name is as a godK
Heaven for thou art the abodeL
Of that Power which is the glassC
Wherein man his nature seesC
Generations as they passC
Worship thee with bended kneesC
Their unremaining gods and theyM
Like a river roll awayM
Thou remainest such alwayM
-
SECOND SPIRITB
Thou art but the mind s first chamberN
Round which its young fancies clamberN
Like weak insects in a caveO
Lighted up by stalactitesC
But the portal of the graveO
Where a world of new delightsC
Will make thy best glories seemP
But a dim and noonday gleamP
From the shadow of a dreamP
-
THIRD SPIRITB
Peace the abyss is wreathed with scornQ
At your presumption atom bornQ
What is Heaven and what are yeH
Who its brief expanse inheritB
What are suns and spheres which fleeH
With the instinct of that SpiritB
Of which ye are but a partR
Drops which Nature s mighty heartR
Drives through thinnest veins DepartR
-
What is Heaven a globe of dewS
Filling in the morning newS
Some eyed flower whose young leaves wakenT
On an unimagined worldU
Constellated suns unshakenT
Orbits measureless are furledU
In that frail and fading sphereV
With ten millions gathered thereW
To tremble gleam and disappearV

-
The living frame which sustains my soulY
Is sinking beneath the fierce controlY
Down through the lampless deep of songI
I am drawn and driven alongI

When a Nation screams aloudU
Like an eagle from the cloudU

When the nightU

Watch the look askance and oldU
See neglect and falsehood foldU
