Because Thou Art

Because Thou art All-beauty and All-bliss,

    My soul blind and enamoured yearns for Thee;

It bears Thy mystic touch in all that is

    And thrills with the burden of that ecstasy.

Behind all eyes I meet Thy secret gaze

    And in each voice I hear Thy magic tune:

Thy sweetness hunts my heart through Nature’s ways;

    Nowhere it beats now from Thy snare immune.

It loves Thy body in all living things;

    Thy joy is there in every leaf and stone:

The moments bring Thee on their fiery wings;

    Sight’s endless artistry is Thou alone.

Time voyages with Thee upon its prow,—

And all the future’s passionate hope is Thou.
