My first vision of light | A |
On the yellow sands sitting | B |
The sun was emitting | B |
His glorious beams | C |
From Heaven s high streams | C |
Over sea over land | D |
My eyes did expand | D |
Into regions of air | E |
Away from all care | E |
Into regions of fire | F |
Remote from desire | F |
The light of the morning | B |
Heaven s mountains adorning | B |
In particles bright | A |
The jewels of light | A |
Distinct shone and clear | G |
Amaz d and in fear | G |
I each particle gaz d | H |
Astonish d amaz d | H |
For each was a Man | I |
Human form d Swift I ran | I |
For they beckon d to me | H |
Remote by the sea | H |
Saying Each grain of sand | D |
Every stone on the land | D |
Each rock and each hill | J |
Each fountain and rill | J |
Each herb and each tree | H |
Mountain hill earth and sea | H |
Cloud meteor and star | K |
Are men seen afar | K |
I stood in the streams | C |

My Shadow I knew | N |
And my wife s Shadow too | N |
And my sister and friend | O |
We like infants descend | O |
In our Shadows on earth | P |
Like a weak mortal birth | P |
My eyes more and more | Q |
Like a sea without shore | Q |
Continue expanding | B |
The Heavens commanding | B |
Till the jewels of light | A |
Heavenly men beaming bright | A |
Appear d as One Man | I |
Who complacent began | I |
My limbs to enfold | R |
In His beams of bright gold | R |
Like dross purg d away | S |
All my mire and my clay | S |
Soft consum d in delight | A |
In His bosom sun bright | A |
I remain d Soft He smil d | H |
And I heard His voice mild | T |
Saying This is My fold | R |
O thou ram horn d with gold | R |
Who awakest from sleep | U |
On the sides of the deep | U |
On the mountains around | V |
The roarings resound | V |
Of the lion and wolf | W |
The loud sea and deep gulf | X |
These are guards of My fold | R |
O thou ram horn d with gold | R |
And the voice faded mild | T |
I remain d as a child | T |
All I ever had known | Y |
Before me bright shone | Y |
I saw you and your wife | Z |
By the fountains of life | Z |
Such the vision to me | H |
Appear d on the sea | H |
