All One XLVIII.

I looked around, and saw in all Heaven's Spaces: One!

In Ocean's rippling Waves and billowy Races: One!

I looked into the Heart, and saw a Sea, wide Worlds

All full of Dreams, and in all Dreaming Faces: One!

Thou art the First, the Last, the Outer, Inner, Whole:

Thy Light breaks through in all Earth's Hues and Graces: One!

Thou seest All from East to furthest Bound of West,

And lo! each Leaf and Flower and Tree Crown traces: One!

Four wild and restive Steeds draw on the World's vast Car;

Thou bridlest them, and rul'st in all their Paces: One!

Air, Fire, Earth, Water melt to One in Fear of thee;

Nor struggle wild, but show in close Embraces: One!

The Hearts of all that live in Earth and Heav'n above,

Beat Praise to thee; nor fails in all their Places—One.
