HEART-HIDDEN from the outer things I rose;
The spirit woke anew in nightly birth
Unto the vastness where forever glows
    The star-soul of the earth.
 

There all alone in primal ecstasy,
Within her depths where revels never tire,
The olden Beauty shines: each thought of me
    Is veined through with its fire.
 

And all my thoughts are throngs of living souls;
They breathe in me, heart unto heart allied;
Their joy undimmed, though when the morning tolls
    The planets may divide.
