HYMN XXXII

In praise of Heaven and Earth 1. Ye people, hear and mark this well: he will pronounce a mighty    prayer:   That which gives breathing to the Plants is not on earth nor in,    the heaven. 2. Their station, as of those who rest when weary, is in midmost air:   The base whereon this world is built, the sages know or know    it not. 3. What the two trembling hemispheres and ground produced and    fashioned forth.   This All, is ever fresh to-day, even as the currents of the sea. 4. This All hath compassed round the one, and on the other lies    at rest.   To Earth and all-possessing Heaven mine adoration have I paid.
