Flames with the Awful Immanence!

To old Zacchæus in his tree

What mattered leaves and botany?

His sycamore was but a seat

Whence he could watch that hallowed street.

But now to us each elm and pine

Is vibrant with the Voice divine,

Not only from but in the bough

Our larger creed beholds him now.

To the true faith, bark, sap, and stem
