Send up to heaven, and every movement, does

Fly like a spark from this God-fire of passion;

And pain of birth, and joy of the begetting,

And sweat of labour, and the meanest fashion

Of fretting or of gladness, but the jetting

Of a trail of the great fire against the sky

Where we can see it, a jet from the innermost fire:

And even in the watery shells that lie

Alive within the cozy under-mire,

A grain of this same fire I can descry.
