MAN AND GOD.

I

Too pure and subtile for our Seeing,
Not found in all we know as real,
Not classed with aught that we call Being,
Thou art, O God! the True Ideal.

II

Shadows, the objects of thy seeing,
All that thou knowëst but ideal,
Save me is nought that is True Being,
I am, O Man! the Only Real.
