| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Thou Art of All Created Things | | By Calderon |
| | | THOU art of all created things, | |
| O Lord, the essence and the cause, | |
| The source and centre of all bliss; | |
| What are those veils of woven light | |
| Where sun and moon and stars unite, | 5 |
| The purple morn, the spangled night, | |
| But curtains which thy mercy draws | |
| Between the heavenly world and this? | |
| The terrors of the sea and land— | |
| When all the elements conspire, | 10 |
| The earth and water, storm and fire— | |
| Are but the sketches of thy hand; | |
| Do they not all in countless ways— | |
| The lightning’s flash, the howling storm, | |
| The dread volcano’s awful blaze— | 15 |
| Proclaim Thy glory and Thy praise? | | | | |
