And the lightnings thou wreathest in thy dark-streaming hair!

Thy melody trills in the silver rill's flow,

And it roars in the earthquake that thunders below;

All heaven is fill'd with thy presence divine,

All earth in the smile of thy beauty doth shine:

From heaven to earth, and from earth swift to heaven,

Thy golden-wheel'd chariot is viewlessly driven:

And thou robest all things in the raiment of love,

By fingers of seraphim woven above—

And the song which thou sing'st is the melody flowing,
