I rush with the swift spheres, and glow

In joy, and when I will, I sleep,—

Yet that severe, that earnest air,

I saw, I felt it once, but where?

I knew not yet the gauge of Time,

Nor wore the manacles of space,—

I felt it in some other clime,

I saw it in some other place.

’Twas when the heavenly house I trod,

And lay upon the breast of God.
