To let the cloud take anchor there;

Earth, through her flowers, salutes the sky;

The sky meets earth in balmy air.

3And I was born to see and say

How beauty beams, without, within:

From the fly, made to gild a day,

To my own soul, outliving sin.

Even now I feel thy cherubim

Have come to me from thee, All-wise!--

Then, Silence, thou shalt be my hymn,
