"These little Limbs These eyes and hands where here I find This panting Heart with which 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? I that so long Was nothing from Eternity Did little think such joys as Ear and Tongue To celebrate or see Such sounds to hear, such Hands to feel, such Feet Such Eyes and Objects on the Ground to meet New burnished Joys! Which finest Gold and Pearl excel! Such sacred Treasures are the Limbs of Boys In which a Soul doth dwell Their organized Joints and azure Veins More Wealth include than the dead World contains From dust I rise And out of Nothing now awake These brighter Regions which salute mine 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"
