Chapter VI

Sound Drum and mellow Flute, resounding: ALLAH HU[25]!
Dance, ruddy Dawn, in Gladness bounding: ALLAH HU!
Sun exalted in the Centre, O thou streaming Light;
Soul of all wheeling Planets rounding: ALLAH HU!
O Hearts! O Worlds! how soon your Dancing all would stop,
Did not His Power sustain astounding! ALLAH HU!
Love mazy, winding, changing, all embraces,
The Night, the Dawn, the Day, resounding: ALLAH HU!
Boom, Sea! on Shore, and Rock, thy Music praising God;
O Nightingale to Rose trill, sounding: ALLAH HU!
O Soul, what if one Star should falter in the Dance?
His Will is Order ever founding: ALLAH HU!
Who knows Love's mazy circling, ever lives in God;
For Death, he knows, is Love abounding: ALLAH HU!

[25] HE is GOD.
