I do not know how wide the spaces are; I do not know how far the utmost star; I do not know what worlds or light may be; Or life, or how this ordered frame began. This only do I know: That Christ my soul Fulfills. My aspirations stand complete In Him. He is my destiny, my flower. More easy could I all the worlds deny, And turn the planets into spirit's dream Than doubt my soul and Him, and sink ourselves, Both Christ and me, in some wild swirl of things, Atoms, electrons--a kaleidoscope of worlds. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BALLAD OF THE DARK LADIE; A FRAGMENT by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE SONNET ON CATHERINE WORDSWORTH by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH A SONNET.
