Boughs bright with scintillations will disclose
Unnumbered sparkling-points of diamond dew
Fired with the sun's own brightness. So the true
Reflected radiancy of living glows
From beams of being, and each beam bestows
The splendor of its origin. The hue
Of every dawning day repeats anew
The metaphors of light and broadly shows
In universal figure how the Sun
Of righteousness and Truth does not forsake
Its rays, nor destine them to endless strife:
Soul's pure expressions glow and are at one
With Soul's own loveliness; lives that partake
Of Life's irradiance are at one with Life.
