God is seen God In the star, in the stone, in the flesh, in the soul and the clod.

In the first is the last, in thy will is my power to believe.

Was there nought better than to enjoy? No feat which, done, would make time break, And let us pent-up creatures through Into eternity, our due? No forcing earth teach heaven's employ?

Rejoice that man is hurled, From change to change unceasingly, His soul's wings never furled!

For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.

Fair or foul the lot apportioned life on earth, we bear alike.

To me at least was never evening yet, but seemed far beautifuller than its day.
