As his thought wells up from a mind divine,

Terrors bred of animal blood resign

Their hold, world’s walls crumble in dust away,

I see in light clearer than that of day

Earth—above it, through it; but nought to tell

Of an Under-world, torture-jail of Hell.

Heaven stands revealed; the Gods’ quiet home,

Where nor clouds, nor rain and snow-storms dare come,

And in large air they breathe immortally,

Unknowing sin or grief, content to Be.
