Now I have {{0}}bourne[[`2009 ed. CWSA, vol.2:{{2}} borne]] Thy presence and Thy light

Eternity assumes me and I am

A vastness of tranquillity and flame,

My heart a deep Atlantic of delight.

My life is a moving moment of Thy might

Carrying Thy vision's sacred oriflamme

Inscribed with the white glory of Thy name

In the unborn silence of the Infinite.

My body is a jar of radiant peace,

The days a line across my timelessness,

My mind is made a voiceless breadth of Thee,

A lyre of muteness and a luminous sea;

Yet in each cell I feel Thy fire embrace:

A brazier of the seven ecstasies.
