Nor says, “It is finished; creation is done”?—

Men are so many, and God is but one!

Foolish and childish the thought that I frame.

Meteors fall in, but the sun is the same.

What are the birds to the air-spaces free?

What are the fish to the surge or the sea,

Grains to the desert sands, motes to the beam?

Time hides its face at Eternity’s call;

Men may be many, but God he is all.
