"These little limbs, these eyes and hands which here I find This panting heart wherewith my life begins Where have ye been? Behind what curtain were ye from me hid so long? Where was, in what abyss, my new-made tongue? When silent I, so many thousand, thousand years Beneath the dust did in a chaos lie, how could I smiles, or tears Or lips, or hands, or eyes, or ears perceive? Welcome, ye treasures which I now receive From dust I rise and out of nothing now awake These brighter regions which salute my eyes A gift from God I take, the earth, the seas, the light, the lofty skies The sun and stars are mine: if these I prize A stranger here, strange things doth meet, strange glory see Strange treasures lodged in this fair world appear Strange, all, and new to me: But that they mine should be who nothing was That strangest is of all yet brought to pass"
