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!
