Book 1: Hymn 32: In praise of Heaven and Earth

1Ye people, hear and mark this well: he will pronounce a mighty prayer: That which gives breathing to the Plants is not on earth nor in, the heaven. 2Their station, as of those who rest when weary, is in midmost air: The base whereon this world is built, the sages know or know it not. 3What the two trembling hemispheres and ground produced and fashioned forth. This All, is ever fresh to-day, even as the currents of the sea. 4This All hath compassed round the one, and on the other lies at rest. To Earth and all-possessing Heaven mine adoration have I paid.
