Songs of the Soul/Part 1/In Me
IN ME
Hello, Yonder Tree! Thou dost breathe in me, in me; O Fast-footed River! Thy shining meandering quiver Declares itself Through myself; Thou dost shine through me, in me. O Huge Himalaya With snowy sovereign white regalia! In my mind doth rest thy throne— Thy home In me, in me. O Ocean! endless to the eye In boundless stretches thou dost lie; But to me thou art small: A tiny drop upon a ball,— Thou art in me, in me. O Endless Sky!So vast to eye,—In some brighter age or dayWhen I’ll cast my cares away On thee will sail my better boat, bright and gay,On to thy shoreTo find, I’m sure,Thy border land—in me.O Distant Heav’ns!O Secret One and Angels Seven!In my sphere you all I see,In me, in me, in me!
