I have seen what the seraphs have seen...

I have seen what the seraphs have seen

As they gaze thro’ the limitless air —

Thro’ the wind and the clouds to the lean

Pale face of the moon, and the bare

Bright flame of the sun, unaware,

I have seen what the seraphs have seen!

Thro’ the limitless spaces of air

The brave mists that waver and wane

Are patient and pallid and fair.

I have fathomed the pride and the pain

Of the snows and compassionate rain

Thro’ the limitless spaces of air.

I have known them, the brave mists that wane

And the glory and peace of the skies.

Where all strife and impatience are vain

And ahush are all passionate sighs,

For I gazed in the deeps of Love's eyes,

And I know what no seraphs shall gain!
