Speak to Him, thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet- Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.

It was my duty to have loved the highest; It surely was my profit had I known: It would have been my pleasure had I seen. We needs must love the highest when we see it, Not Lancelot, nor another.

For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers, and I linger on the shore, And the individual withers, and the world is more and more.

That which we are, we are.

Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be… And thou, O Lord, art more than they.

Speak to Him, thou, for He hears, and Spirit with Spirit can meet- Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet.
