We know thee not, thou Spirit fair!
Would that thine awful Peerlessness
An hour could shine o'er heaven and earth
And I the maddening power possess
To drink the cup,--O Godlike birth!
All life impels me to thy search:
Without thee, yea, to live were null;
Still shall I make the dawn thy Church,
And pray thee "God the Beautiful."
THE WIND-CHANT.
The Soul, the inner, immortal Ruler.--_Hindu Upanishad._
"Witch-like, see it planets roll,
Hear it from the cradle call--
Nature?--Nature is the soul;
That alone is aught and all.
Grieved or broken though the song,
The fount of music is elate,

Why are poor and why are rich?
Why are slaves and why are lords?
Unto this the splendid niche:
Those caste damneth in their words.
Do not powers of evil reign?
Do not flashes' storms make dread?
Should not He of Life again
Bring the just peace of the dead?
Oft the Pines, like priests of state,
Have spoke the heavenly word to man;
So above me as I sate
AEol voices chanting ran:
"For the Soul is ever great
For the Soul is ever strong;
In the murmurer it can wait--
In the shortest sight see long.
