The mind of a man
And the mind in a stone.
But the Mind of minds
Sits bright and alone.
The life of a tree,
The life in a clod,
To the Life of all life
That men call God.
The heart of a beast
And a seraph’s heart, —
But the Heart of all hearts
Throbs ever apart.
A body beloved
And a body slain.
Yet both were the bodies
Of One in their pain.
