I, too: my soul is glad through very dread

While in this chamber God doth make His bed:

For now our eyes behold the glorious Birth

Which shall uplift again low-fallen earth.

Here, where He rests, amid these hollowed rocks,

I hear the world’s heart move in joyful shocks,—

The pulsing of her rivers and her springs:

I feel the air beat with the throb of wings:

And farther up, amid the heavenly maze,

The stars and planets with adoring gaze
