From Melody's divinest fount! All heaven

Glow'd bright, as, like a viewless river, swell'd

The deepening music!—Silence came again!

And where I gazed, a shrine of cloudy fire

Flamed redly awful; round it Thunder walk'd,

And from it Lightning look'd out most sublime!

Here throned in unimaginable bliss

And glory, sits The One Eternal Power,

Creator, Lord, and Life of All: Again,

Stillness ethereal reign'd, and forth appear'd
