O
To learn of things divine,
The soul of nature suddenly
Outpoured itself in mine.
And of the heavens above;
I knew the harmonies of sleep,
The mysteries of love.
The earth, the sky, the sea—
My soul encompassed, each and all,
As now they compass me.
Since Love the work began—
Life’s ever widening circles run,
Revealing God and man.
