A quickening life from the Earth's heart has burst

      As it has ever done, with change and motion,

      From the great morning of the world when first

      God dawned on Chaos; in its stream immersed,

      The lamps of Heaven flash with a softer light;

      All baser things pant with life's sacred thirst;

      Diffuse themselves; and spend in love's delight

The beauty and the joy of their renewed might.
