Religion
All Fulness
Translated by William Hastie, after Rückert's German (1903) · From The Festival of Spring (1903)
Religion
Ever shall I more desire
Than Time's bounded Needs require.
Ever as more Flowers I pluck,
Blossoms new gay Spring attire.
And when through the Heavens I sweep,
Rolling Spheres will flash new Fire.
Perfect Beauty only can
True Eternal Love inspire.
