"I AM"
I AM, and therefore these,Existence is by me,—Flux of pendulous seas,The stable, free.I am in blush of the rose,The shimmer of dawn;Am girdle Orion knows,The fount undrawn.I am earth's potency,The chemic ray's, the rain's,The reciprocityThat loads the wains.I am, or the heavens fall!I dwell in my woven tent,Am immanent in all,—Suprámanent!I am the Life in life,Impact and verve of thought,The reason's lens and knife,The ethic "ought."I am of being the stress,I am the brooding Dove,I am the blessing in "bless,"The Love in love.I am the living thrillAnd fire of poet and seer,The breath of man's goodwill,The Father near;Am end of the way men grope,Core of the ceaseless strife,I am man's bread of hope,Water of life.I am the root of faith,Substance of vision, too,The spirit shadowed in wraith,Urim in dew.I am the soul's white Sun,Love's slain, enthronëd Lamb,I am the Holy One,I am I AM.
