The Giant of the Pool Heaves his forehead white as wool   Toward the Iris every climbing From the Cataracts that call   Irremovable vast arras Draping all the Wall. THE GIANT OF THE POOL HEAVES HIS FOREHEAD WHITE AS WOOL TOW'D THE IRIS EVERY CLIMBING FROM THE CATARACTS THAT CALL IRREMOVABLE VAST ARRAS DRAPING ALL THE WALL
The waters all converge, Then they sweep adown in sloping Solidity of surge. The Nation, in her impulse Mysterious as the Tide, In emotion like an ocean Moves in power, not in pride; And is deep in her devotion As Humanity is wide. Thou Lord of hosts victorious, The confluence Thou hast twined; By a wondrous way and glorious A passage Thou dost find-- A passage Thou dost find: Hosanna to the Lord of hosts, The hosts of human kind. Stable in its baselessness When calm is in the air, The Iris half in tracelessness Hovers faintly fair. Fitfully assailing it A wind from heaven blows, Shivering and paling it To blankness of the snows; While, incessant in renewal, The Arch rekindled grows, Till again the gem and jewel Whirl in blinding overthrows-- Till, prevailing and transcending, Lo, the Glory perfect there, And the contest finds an ending, For repose is in the air. But the foamy Deep unsounded, And the dim and dizzy ledge, And the booming roar rebounded, And the gull that skims the edge! AMENTAL RIM MULTITUDINOUSLY THRONGING THE WATERS ALL CONVERGE THEN THEY SWEEP ADOWN IN SLOPING SOLIDITY OF SURGE THE NATION IN HER IMPULSE MYSTERIOUS AS THE TIDE IN EMOTION LIKE AN OCEAN MOVES IN POWER NOT IN PRIDE AND AS DEEP IN HER DEVOTION AS HUMANITY IS WIDE THOU LORD OF HOSTS VICTORIOUS THE CONFLUENCE THOU HAST TWINED BY A WONDROUS WAY AND GLORIOUS A PASSAGE THOU DOST FIND A PASSAGE THOU DOST FIND HOSANNA TO THE LORD OF HOSTS THE HOSTS OF HUMAN KIND STABLE IN ITS BASELESSNESS WHEN CALM IS IN THE AIR THE IRIS HALF IN TRACELESSNESS HOVERS FAINTLY FAIR FITFULLY ASSAILING IT A WIND FROM HEAVEN BLOWS SHIVERING AND PALING IT TO BLANKNESS OF THE SNOWS WHILE INCESSANT IN RENEWAL THE ARCH REKINDLED GROWS TILL AGAIN THE GEM AND JEWEL WHIRL IN BLINDING OVERTHROWS TLL PREVAILING ENTRANSCENDING LO THE GLORY PERFECT THERE AND THE CONTEST FINDS AN ENDING FOR REPOSES IN THE AIR BUT THE FOAMY DEEP UNSOUNDED AND THE DIM AND DIZZY LEDGE AND THE BOOMING ROAR REBOUNDED AND THE GULL THAT SKIMS THE EDGE
