I Sat behind the dance of Danger's hooves
                 In the shouting street that seemed a futurist's whim,
           And suddenly felt, exceeding Nature's grooves,
                 In me, enveloping me the body of Him.

           Above my head a mighty head was seen,
                 A face with the calm of immortality
           And an omnipotent gaze that held the scene
                 In the vast circle of its sovereignty.

           His hair was mingled with the sun and breeze ;
                 The world was in His heart and He was I:
           I housed in me the Everlasting's peace,
                 The strength of One whose substance cannot die.

           The moment passed and all was as before;
           Only thatl deathless memory I bore.
