THY SECRET THRONE

Behind the screen
Of all things seen
How dost Thou hide,—
Elude the tide
Of marching human eyes,
That ’round Thee rushing hies?
’Twill not be long
Ere will be known
Thy hiding place
By children with Thine eyes and grace.

Sage science splits
Each atom knit
By Thee, to find apace
Thy hiding place.
Is heart of atom,—electron,
Thy secret throne?
Deep we bore
To find Thy art, and lore
Of doings all sublime;
E’er hidden betimes.

Yet Thy abode
Seems far remote;
’Tis still to find
With deeper mind.
