[What if “Nature” be so finely wrought]

What if “Nature” be so finely wrought,
She is subtler than our subtlest thought,
Grander than our best imagining:
Is not Nature then a marvellous thing?
Wherein we too have our part and lot
Of a surety neither low nor small.
What if something in ourselves be found
Finer, larger yet than all around,
And whereby alone we see it all?
