From far above what mortals highest call;

From elevation’s pinnacle; look down,

Through—what? Confounding interval! through all

And more than labouring Fancy can conceive;

Through radiant ranks of essences unknown;

Through hierarchies from hierarchies detach’d

Round various banners of Omnipotence,

With endless change of rapturous duties fired;

Through wondrous being’s interposing swarms,

All clustering at the call, to dwell in Thee; 2310
