FLOWER in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, ROOT and all, in my hand,
Little flower — but if I could understand
What you are, ROOT and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.

Our little systems have their day
They have their day and cease to be
They are but broken lights of Thee
And Thou, O L-rd, art more than they
We have but faith, we cannot know
For knowledge is of things we see
And yet we trust it comes from Thee
A beam in darkness: let it grow
Let knowledge grow from more to more
But more of reverence in us dwell
That mind and soul, according well
May make one music as before
