GOD IN ATOM AND COSMOS, by                    
First Line: Out of the great constellations
Last Line: Of the great, the omnipotent god.
Subject(s): God


Out of the great constellations
Surging in orbits of fire,
Universe piled upon universe,
Higher, and higher, and higher;
Up from the chasms of ether,
Brighter than light from the sun,
Whiter than Delian marble,
Comes the spiritual force of the One --

Springs in a pulsating current
Like the unrolling surge of the sea,
Endowing with life as it passes
An atom, a world, or a tree.
It seeks not; but present, inherent,
Has one universal abode,
And finds its great source and inception
In the manifold Being of God.

I wait on the mystical union,
Attuned to the sweep of the spheres,
Feeling the immanent wonder
Out where the lone comet steers,
Or down in the cell of amoeba,
Or up from the rich, pregnant sod
I am filled with the infinite wonder
Of the great, the omnipotent God.
