And all the power of heaven, the kindly, spent
In trifling waste by cold and cunning
Men without thanks, who when he, the Highest,
In person tills their field for them, think they know

Their telescope may find them all, may
Count and may name every star of heaven.

That we may last on earth, our too knowing eyes.
... Never will our
Free-ranging power coerce his heaven.
