Had never waned through all his eighty years.

His faith was hardly faith. He seemed a part

Of all that he believed in. He had lived

In constant conversation with the sun,

The wind, the silence and the heart of peace;

In absolute communion with the Power

That rules all action and all tides of thought,

And all the secret courses of the stars;

The Power that still establishes on earth

Desire and worship, through the radiant laws
