"An everlasting spring I see
Of beauty and of love
In earth, sea, rock, stone, flower, and tree,
And in the heavens above.
Of beauty and of love
In earth, sea, rock, stone, flower, and tree,
And in the heavens above.
"All natural things my soul sustain,
Supplying all its needs;
From them that full content I gain
Men vainly seek in creeds.

From them that full content I gain
Men vainly seek in creeds.
"Glories where'er I gaze appear
Of colour, beauty, form;
The music of one Voice I hear
Alike in calm and storm.
Of colour, beauty, form;
The music of one Voice I hear
Alike in calm and storm.
"All things transfigured in my sight
A greater radiance gain,
I see the very light of light,
The heaven of heavens attain.

I see the very light of light,
The heaven of heavens attain.
"One impulse ruling all I feel
That in one chain doth bind
What some call real and some ideal,
Sense, substance, soul, and mind:
That in one chain doth bind
What some call real and some ideal,
Sense, substance, soul, and mind:
"The soul that unifieth all,
And all doth animate;
That finds no grain of sand too small,
No universe too great.
And all doth animate;
That finds no grain of sand too small,
No universe too great.
"Divine ideas all unsought
My spirit apprehends:
Ever the greatness of my thought
My power of speech transcends.
My spirit apprehends:
Ever the greatness of my thought
My power of speech transcends.
