XII. REVELATION.
Spirit!—to God!—The Eternal Soul of ThingsIs animate within us!—we aspire;
And, glorying in our elemental fire,
Expand etherially—till we embrace
At least a cloud that looks a deity;
And gazing upon Nature, face to face,
Half trace her secret fountains to their springs,
And hold a still communion with her sky.
We need no revelation of the God—
The high, instinctive Being of all Space;
For, as the sweet flower rises from the sod,
Our essence from its clay springs mountingly—
And all its heavenly birth-right doth inherit!
Ay, Spirit's revelation dwells in Spirit.
