Glorious shapes have life in , and all earths company;126 Ode to Heaven Living globes which ever throngThy deep chasms and wildernesses; And green worlds that glide along;And swift stars with flashing tresses; And icy moons most cold and bright, And mighty suns beyond the night, Atoms of intensest light. Even thy name is as a god,Heaven ! for thou art the abode Of that power which is the glassWherein man his nature sees. Generations as they passWorship thee with bended knees. Their unremaining gods and they Like a river roll away: Thou remainest such alway.
