There is no treasure of sapphire, No hidden ruby to compare ; No diamond hath illustrious fire Beside the burden that we bear ; Nor where the waves of ocean whirl Hath any cavern such a pearl.

All earth took up the sound, And, being in one tune securely bound, Even as a star became the soul of silence most profound. IV Thus there, the centre of that death that darkened, I sat and listened, if God’s voice should break And pierce the hollow of my ear that hearkened, Lest God should speak and find me not awake— For his own sake.
