quot Throughout these infinite orbs of mingling light	A
Of which yon earth is one is wide diffus'd	B
A Spirit of activity and life	C
That knows no term cessation or decay	D
That fades not when the lamp of earthly life	C
Extinguish'd in the dampness of the grave	E
Awhile there slumbers more than when the babe	F
In the dim newness of its being feels	G
The impulses of sublunary things	H
And all is wonder to unpractis'd sense	I
But active steadfast and eternal still	J
Guides the fierce whirlwind in the tempest roars	K
Cheers in the day breathes in the balmy groves	L
Strengthens in health and poisons in disease	M
And in the storm of change that ceaselessly	N
Rolls round the eternal universe and shakes	O
Its undecaying battlement presides	P
Apportioning with irresistible law	Q
The place each spring of its machine shall fill	J
So that when waves on waves tumultuous heap	R
Confusion to the clouds and fiercely driven	S
Heaven's lightnings scorch the uprooted ocean fords	T
Whilst to the eye of shipwreck'd mariner	U
Lone sitting on the bare and shuddering rock	V
All seems unlink'd contingency and chance	W
No atom of this turbulence fulfils	W
A vague and unnecessitated task	X
Or acts but as it must and ought to act	Y
Even the minutest molecule of light	A
That in an April sunbeam's fleeting glow	Z
Fulfils its destin'd though invisible work	A2
The universal Spirit guides nor less	W
When merciless ambition or mad zeal	B2
Has led two hosts of dupes to battlefield	C2
That blind they there may dig each other's graves	W
And call the sad work glory does it rule	D2
All passions not a thought a will an act	Y
No working of the tyrant's moody mind	E2
Nor one misgiving of the slaves who boast	F2
Their servitude to hide the shame they feel	B2
Nor the events enchaining every will	J
That from the depths of unrecorded time	G2
Have drawn all influencing virtue pass	W
Unrecogniz'd or unforeseen by thee	N
Soul of the Universe eternal spring	H2
Of life and death of happiness and woe	Z
Of all that chequers the phantasmal scene	I2
That floats before our eyes in wavering light	A
Which gleams but on the darkness of our prison	S
Whose chains and massy walls	W
We feel but cannot see	N
	-
	-
quot Spirit of Nature all sufficing Power	U
Necessity thou mother of the world	J2
Unlike the God of human error thou	K2
Requir'st no prayers or praises the caprice	W
Of man's weak will belongs no more to thee	N
Than do the changeful passions of his breast	L2
To thy unvarying harmony the slave	E
Whose horrible lusts spread misery o'er the world	J2
And the good man who lifts with virtuous pride	M2
His being in the sight of happiness	W
That springs from his own works the poison tree	N
Beneath whose shade all life is wither'd up	N2
And the fair oak whose leafy dome affords	W
A temple where the vows of happy love	O2
Are register'd are equal in thy sight	A
No love no hate thou cherishest revenge	P2
And favouritism and worst desire of fame	Q2
Thou know'st not all that the wide world contains	W
Are but thy passive instruments and thou	K2
Regard'st them all with an impartial eye	R2
Whose joy or pain thy nature cannot feel	B2
Because thou hast not human sense	W
Because thou art not human mind	E2
	-
	-
quot Yes when the sweeping storm of time	G2
Has sung its death dirge o'er the ruin'd fanes	W
And broken altars of the almighty Fiend	S2
Whose name usurps thy honours and the blood	T2
Through centuries clotted there has floated down	U2
The tainted flood of ages shalt thou live	V2
Unchangeable A shrine is rais'd to thee	N
Which nor the tempest breath of time	G2
Nor the interminable flood	T2
Over earth's slight pageant rolling	H2
Availeth to destroy	W2
The sensitive extension of the world	J2
That wondrous and eternal fane	X2
Where pain and pleasure good and evil join	Y2
To do the will of strong necessity	N
And life in multitudinous shapes	W
Still pressing forward where no term can be	N
Like hungry and unresting flame	Q2
Curls round the eternal columns of its strength quot	N
