I am so small, let me be smaller still Until my consciousness can identify With cellular life and infinitesimal things And know in the atom God's infinity.
Let me not dream the aggrandising dreams That blindly leap to a future falsely bright Ere the work's begun, the vessel pure, I have not yet found passage through the night.
Give me simplicity and stay the mind From fruitless labours endlessly begun, Cease the circling round of senseless thoughts And focus the inner flame upon the One.
