Its Phoenix plumage to immortal ashes
Whereof one fleck, a seed of spirit spun,
  Whirls itself onward, and creates a sun.
Light interfused with Light, a sparkling spasm
  Of rainbow radiance, spans the cosmic chasm;
Light crystallized in Life, Life coruscating
  In Light, their mood of magick consummating
The miracle of Love, and all the awe
  Of Need made one with Liberty's one law;
A fourfold flower of Godhead, leaf and fruit
  And seed and blossom of one radiant root,
Resolving all the being of its bloom
  Into the rapture of its own perfume.
Star-clustered dew each fibre of that light
  Wherein all being flashes to its flight!
All things that live, a cohort and a choir,
  Laugh with the leapings of that fervid fire;
Motes in that sunlight, they are drunken of
  The wine of their own energy of love.
Nothing so small, so base, so incomplete,
  But here goes dancing on diviner feet;
And where Light crosses Light, all loves combine
  Behold the God, the worshippers, the shrine,
Each comprehensive of its single soul
  Yet each the centre and fountain of the whole;
Each one made perfect in its passionate part,
  Each the circumference, and each the heart!
Always the Three in One are interwoven,
  Always the One in Three sublimely cloven,
Their essence to the Central Spirit hurled
  And so flung forth, an uncorrupted world,
By That which, comprehending in one whole
  The universal rapture of Its soul,
Abides beyond Its own illumination,
  Withdrawn from Its imperishable station,
Upholding all, an arm whose falchion flings
  With every flash a new-fledged Soul of Things;
