One

One

The mind of a man
    And the mind in a stone.
But the Mind of minds
    Sits bright and alone.

The life of a tree,
    The life in a clod,
To the Life of all life
    That men call God.

The heart of a beast
    And a seraph's heart,—
But the Heart of all hearts
    Throbs ever apart.

A body beloved
    And a body slain.
Yet both were the bodies
    Of One in their pain.
