	-
	-
How I lived ere my human life began	C
In this world of yours like you made man	C
When my home was the Star of my God Rephan	C
	-
Come then around me close about	D
World weary earth born ones Darkest doubt	D
Or deepest despondency keeps you out	D
	-
Nowise Before a word I speak	E
Let my circle embrace your worn your weak	E
Brow furrowed old age youth's hollow cheek	E
	-
Diseased in the body sick in soul	F
Pinched poverty satiate wealth your whole	F
Array of despairs Have I read the roll	F
	-
All here Attend perpend O Star	A
Of my God Rephan what wonders are	A
In thy brilliance fugitive faint and far	A
	-
Far from me native to thy realm	G
Who shared its perfections which o'erwhelm	G
Mind to conceive Let drift the helm	G
	-
Let drive the sail dare unconfined	H
Embark for the vastitude O Mind	H
Of an absolute bliss Leave earth behind	H
	-
Here by extremes at a mean you guess	I
There all's at most not more not less	I
Nowhere deficiency nor excess	I
	-
No want whatever should be is now	C
No growth that's change and change comes how	C
To royalty born with crown on brow	C
	-
Nothing begins so needs to end	J
Where fell it short at first Extend	J
Duly the same no change can mend	J
	-
I use your language mine no word	K
Of its wealth would help who spoke who heard	K
To a gleam of intelligence None preferred	K
	-
None felt distaste when better and worse	L
Were uncontrastable bless or curse	L
What in that uniform universe	L
	-
Can your world's phrase your sense of things	M
Forth figure the Star of my God No springs	M
No winters throughout its space Time brings	M
	-
No hope no fear as to day shall be	B
To morrow advance or retreat need we	B
At our stand still through eternity	B
	-
All happy needs must we so have been	C
Since who could be otherwise All serene	C
What dark was to banish what light to screen	C
	-
Earth's rose is a bud that's checked or grows	N
As beams may encourage or blasts oppose	N
Our lives leapt forth each a full orbed rose	N
	-
Each rose sole rose in a sphere that spread	O
Above and below and around rose red	O
No fellowship each for itself instead	O
	-
One better than I would prove I lacked	P
Somewhat one worse were a jarring fact	P
Disturbing my faultlessly exact	P
	-
How did it come to pass there lurked	Q
Somehow a seed of change that worked	Q
Obscure in my heart till perfection irked	Q
	-
Till out of its peace at length grew strife	R
Hopes fears loves hates obscurely rife	R
My life grown a tremble to turn your life	R
	-
Was it Thou above all lights that are	A
Prime Potency did Thy hand unbar	A
The prison gate of Rephan my Star	A
	-
In me did such potency wake a pulse	S
Could trouble tranquillity that lulls	T
Not lashes inertion till throes convulse	T
	-
Soul's quietude into discontent	U
As when the completed rose bursts rent	U
By ardors till forth from its orb are sent	U
	-
New petals that mar unmake the disk	V
Spoil rondure what in it ran brave risk	V
Changed apathy's calm to strife bright brisk	V
	-
Pushed simple to compound sprang and spread	O
Till fresh formed faceted floreted	O
The flower that slept woke a star instead	O
	-
No Mimic of Star Rephan How long	W
I stagnated there where weak and strong	W
The wise and the foolish right and wrong	W
	-
Are merged alike in a neutral Best	O
Can I tell No more than at whose behest	O
The passion arose in my passive breast	O
	-
And I yearned for no sameness but difference	T
In thing and thing that should shock my sense	T
With a want of worth in them all and thence	T
	-
Startle me up by an Infinite	O
Discovered above and below me height	O
And depth alike to attract my flight	O
	-
Repel my descent by hate taught love	X
Oh gain were indeed to see above	X
Supremacy ever to move remove	Y
	-
Not reach aspire yet never attain	C
To the object aimed at Scarce in vain	C
As each stage I left nor touched again	C
	-
To suffer did pangs bring the loved one bliss	T
Wring knowledge from ignorance just for this	T
To add one drop to a love abyss	T
	-
Enough for you doubt you hope O men	C
You fear you agonize die what then	C
Is an end to your life's work out of ken	C
	-
Have you no assurance that earth at end	O
Wrong will prove right Who made shall mend	O
In the higher sphere to which yearnings tend	O
	-
Why should I speak You divine the test	O
When the trouble grew in my pregnant breast	O
A voice said So wouldst thou strive not rest	O
	-
Burn and not smoulder win by worth	Z
Not rest content with a wealth that's dearth	Z
Thou art past Rephan thy place be Earth	Z
