LII. GREAT AND SMALL
Not only to the stars the star-God who pervadeth
The solemn outspread heavens, and broodeth o'er and shadeth
The wide skies with his hand,—
Not only to the stars the star-God's word is given:
Not only to the blue illimitable heaven:
Not only to the sea and flower-starred land:
The solemn outspread heavens, and broodeth o'er and shadeth
The wide skies with his hand,—
Not only to the stars the star-God's word is given:
Not only to the blue illimitable heaven:
Not only to the sea and flower-starred land:
The God who sows the void with stars, and sows the meadows
With fragrant blossom-stars, and fills the soft June-shadows
With wind-breaths sweet and mild,—
The God who holds the whole vast cosmos in vibration
And hurls through war on war mad nation upon nation
Is pledged to help the humblest human child.
With fragrant blossom-stars, and fills the soft June-shadows
With wind-breaths sweet and mild,—
The God who holds the whole vast cosmos in vibration
And hurls through war on war mad nation upon nation
Is pledged to help the humblest human child.
