To thee, whose presence space doth recognise!

To thee, whose bright existence every morn

Announceth! Thy creative breath hath stooped

To me, and he who was not hath appeared

Before thy majesty! I knew thy voice

Ere I had known myself, and at its sound

Up to the gates of being I did rush.

Behold me! nothingness doth here presume

To hail thee at its coming into life.

Behold me! but what am I? what my name?
