302 CONCLUSION. 



his ways, but how slight a whisper is heard of Him ! 

 But the thunder of his power who can understand?" 

 (Job xxvi. 14.) 



** Yes ! as a drop of water in the sea, 



All this magnificence in Thee is lost : — 

 What are ten thousand worlds compared to Thee ? 



And what am I then ? Heaven's unnumber'd host, 

 Though multiplied by myriads, and array'd 



In all the glory of sublimest thought, 

 Is but an atom in the balance weigh'd 



Against thy greatness ; is a cypher brought 



Against infinity ! What am I then ? Nought ! 



*' Nought ! But the effluence of thy light divine, 

 Pervading worlds, hath reach'd my bosom too. 



Yes ! in my spirit doth thy Spirit shine 

 As shines the sunbeam in a drop of dew. 



Nought ! But I live, and on hope's pinions fly 

 Eager towards thy presence ; for in Thee 



I live, and breathe, and dwell ; aspiring high, 

 Even to the throne of thy divinity : 

 For Thou hast deign'd to link thyself with me ! "
