'Thy oneness, Lord, in many approaching hearts, My sweet infinity of thy numberless souls.' 'A third time swelled the great admonishing call: ' Break the law, bless the great soul o'high-cry.. 'I spread abroad the refuge of my wings. Out of its incommunicable deeps My power looks forth of mightiest splendour, stilled Into its majesty of sleep, withdrawn Above the dreadful whirlings of the world.' 'Thy energy, Lord, to seize on woman and man, To take all things and creatures in their grief And gather them into a mother's arms.'
