Oh! for one moment just to realize
That Love and Truth is Life and All in All!
One flesh-free moment knowingly to crawl
Outside this man-pieced, mutable disguise
Of senses,—fears that chain and tyrannize
Our thoughts, our smallest actions, and inthrall
The omnipresent Goodness in a stall
That's narrowed to the world's delirious guise.
Oh! for one moment consciously to wreck
The carnal mind, to thwart the senses' might,
Cast off the clinging past, and disobey
The cynic world; repel its wheedling beck,
Receive one glint of omnipresent day
Unchangeable; and prove there is no night.
