| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Creation’s Psalm | | By Swithin Saint Swithaine |
| | | A DEEP-BASSED thunder-rolling psalm | |
| Sweeps thro’ the reeded throat of Time, | |
| And charms the ear of every clime | |
| With music of the great “I Am.” | |
| |
| It drags the planets in their orbs, | 5 |
| And smites the sun, and shakes the stars, | |
| And strikes the rocky-bedded bars, | |
| And beats about the aerial curbs! | |
| |
| Creation chants the nameless Name, | |
| The winging worlds in chorus ring; | 10 |
| The great lands shout; the huge seas sing; | |
| The thundering heavens roar, “I Am!” | | | | |
