Thou heart’s-joy of all men and women that be;
Where men and where women join, One art Thou, Sole!
Where units appear, Thou’rt the sum of the whole!
This “I” and this “we” Thou’st ordained for Thy state;
That psalms, hymns, and lauds may still rise to Thy gate.
When “I” and when “we” shall unite both in One,
Absorbed they’ll be in Thy essence alone.245
Existencies, potencies, all rise from Thee.
Denial and potency, Thou’rt from these free.
Can eye now behold Thee as truly Thou art?
