First Line: You are the vision, you are the image of the dream
Last Line: Glorying the dream and the vision in the song you bring.
Subject(s): Vision
You are the vision, you are the image of the dream,
The voice among the stars, the silence in the stream;
A breath of the infinite poise, where space and time are spun,
And the circling orbits wheel their planets round the sun.Beyond the outer
margin where nothing calls to God
Leaps the fiery symbol to bloom where your feet have trod;
Here is the earth resurgent with color and bloom of Spring,
Glorying the dream and the vision in the song you bring.
