ETERNAL and Omnipotent Unseen! Who badest the world, with all its lives complete, Start from the void and thrill beneath thy feet, Thee I adore with reverence serene; Here, in the fields, thine own cathedral meet, Built by thyself, star-roofed, and hung with green, Wherein all breathing things in concord sweet, Organed by winds, perpetual hymns repeat: Here hast thou spread that book to every eye, Whose tongue and truth all, all may read and prove, On whose three blessed leaves -- Earth, Ocean, Sky, Thine own right hand hath stamped might, justice, love; Grand Trinity, which binds in due degree, God, man, and brute, in social unity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LITANY by ROBERT GRANT (1785-1838) THE BRIDGE by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW LUCASIA, ROSANIA, AND ORINDA PARTING AT A FOUNTAIN by KATHERINE PHILIPS TO A SNOWFLAKE by FRANCIS THOMPSON MISPLACED SYMPATHY by CHARLES FOLLEN ADAMS EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 11.
