| | | .. THOU 1 art light and them art free, | |
| And to live rejoiceth thee, | |
| Where the splendours greatest be … | |
| |
| Thou a seraph art to go | |
| All undaunted to and fro | 5 |
| Where the fiercest ardours glow … | |
| |
| Thou an angel art, and well | |
| It sufficeth thee to dwell | |
| In the smallest creature’s cell … | |
| |
| Thou a spirit art most sweet, | 10 |
| And to make all life complete | |
| Everywhere thou hast thy seat. | |
