Another heart as large and true.

Her soul is frank as the ocean wind,

And the world has only two.

But gifted yet to know

That God has cherubim who go

Singing an immortal strain,

Which these explore

When they with torch of genius pierce

The tenfold clouds that cover

The riches of the universe

From God's adoring lover.
