That gentle picture dost thou know,Itself, its hues, and splendor gaining?Some change each moment can bestow,Itself as perfect still remaining;It lies within the smallest space,The smallest framework forms its girth,And yet that picture can embraceThe mightiest objects known on earth:Canst thou to me that crystal name(No gem can with its worth compare)Which gives all light, and knows no flame?Absorbed is all creation there!That ring can in itself incloseThe loveliest hues that light the heaven,Yet from its light more lovely goesThan all which to it can be given!

That gentle picture dost thou know,
Itself, its hues, and splendor gaining?
Some change each moment can bestow,
Itself as perfect still remaining;
It lies within the smallest space,
The smallest framework forms its girth,
And yet that picture can embrace
The mightiest objects known on earth:
Canst thou to me that crystal name
(No gem can with its worth compare)
Which gives all light, and knows no flame?
Absorbed is all creation there!
That ring can in itself inclose
The loveliest hues that light the heaven,
Yet from its light more lovely goes
Than all which to it can be given!

The single gem which forms its roof,
And never hath the eye surveyed
The master who that mansion made.
