EXULTATION, by                    
First Line: Today I could move mountains with my joy!
Last Line: Has split my mind and poured it full of heaven!


Today I could move mountains with my joy!
Could drink the golden liquid of the sun
Or stride the sky, or wilder means employ
To shout aloud my gladness as I run.
I am stretched out to endless space and time --
There is no distance where I cannot be.
The stars behind the starry fields sublime,
Are but the marrow and the flesh of me.
There is no measure made for me today!
A universe has opened in my soul.
I feel me not a part of worlds at play
But strangely and convincingly the whole.
Who knows but some bright shaft from God's hand given,
Has split my mind and poured it full of heaven!
