# The Planet Dance

> The sunlight is gleaming—  
> What carries its beaming  
> to crystal and flower  
> so far down below?
> The soul has been drifting—  
> Who yearns for uplifting,  
> from faith to the power  
> of vision to grow?
> Seek, soul, to be seeing  
> in stones the light fleeing,  
> in blossoms its bower,—  
> yourself you shall know.
> The heavens are bluing—  
> What aims are pursuing,  
> what secrets out-sending  
> expanses blue-pearled?
> The spirit is waking—  
> What strength is in making,  
> what will is unbending,  
> what shining unfurled?
> So, spirit, be guiding,  
> remote still abiding,  
> to vision unending,—  
> you find all the world.
> The starlight is dancing—  
> What radiance entrancing,  
> the centre unsealing,  
> is sent from afar?
> And men are still questing—  
> They strive, never resting,  
> and anxiously feeling,  
> to know who they are?
> So man, be expanding  
> your soul's understanding,  
> your essence revealing,—  
> you find your own star.
> The night is unfolding—  
> What beings are moulding,  
> in infinite spacing,  
> of nothing—sheer weight?
> The universe trembles—  
> What breathing dissembles,  
> in darkness embracing  
> mysterious fate?
> The spirit inspiring  
> is thirsting, is firing,  
> with worlds interlacing,  
> small beings and great.
