UNNUMBERED gods may unremembered die; A thousand creeds may perish and pass by; Yet do I lift mine eyes to ONE on high. Unnamed be HE from whom creation came; There is no word whereby to speak His name But petty men have mouthed it into shame. I lift mine eyes, and with a river’s force My love’s full tide goes sweeping on its course To that supreme and all embracing Source. Then back through all those thirsting channels roll The mighty billows of the Over Soul. And I am He, the portion and the Whole. As little streams before the flood tide flee, As rivers vanish to become the sea, The I exists no more, for I AM HE.
