Mystic Miracle, daughter of Delight, <\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Life, thou ecstasy,
\nLet the radius of thy flight <\/span><\/p>\n

  <\/span><\/p>\n

On thy<\/span> wings thou bearest<\/span>
\nhigh<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Glory and disdain,
\nGodhead and mortality, <\/span><\/p>\n

\nand pain. <\/span><\/p>\n

  <\/span><\/p>\n

Take me in thy wild embrace <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Without
\nweak reserve <\/span><\/p>\n

Body dire and unveiled face; <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Faint
\nnot, Life, nor swerve. <\/span><\/p>\n

  <\/span><\/p>\n

All thy<\/span> bliss I would explore, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>All
\nthy tyranny. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cruel like the lion\u2019s roar, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Sweet
\nlike springtide be. <\/span><\/p>\n

  <\/span><\/p>\n

Like a Titan I <\/b>would take, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Like
\na God enjoy, <\/span><\/p>\n

Like a man contend and make, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Revel
\nlike a boy. <\/span><\/p>\n

  <\/span><\/p>\n

More I will not ask of thee, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Nor

\nor lose. <\/span><\/p>\n

  <\/span><\/p>\n

Even in rags I am a god; <\/span><\/p>\n

\nI am divine; <\/span><\/p>\n

High I triumph when down-trod, <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Long
