As one by one the veils took flight,	
The day withdrew, the stars came up.	
The spirit issued pale and bright	
Filling thy beauty like a cup.	
 
Sacred thy laughter on the air,	
Holy thy lightest word that fell,	
Proud the innumerable hair	
That waved at the enchanter's spell.	
 
O, Master of the Beautiful,	
Creating us from hour to hour,	
Give me this vision to the full	
To see in lightest things thy power.	
 
This vision give, no heaven afar,	
No throne, and yet I will rejoice	
Knowing beneath my feet a star	
Thy word in every wandering voice.
