1 Ye people, hear and mark this well: he will pronounce a mighty prayer: that which gives breathing to the Plants is not on earth nor in the heaven.

2 Their station, as of those who rest when weary, is in midmost air: the base whereon this world is built, the sages know or know it not.

3 What God produced and fashioned forth, the two trembling hemispheres and ground, this All, is ever fresh to-day, even as the currents of the sea.

4 This All hath compassed round the one, and on the other lies at rest. To God, the Lord of Earth and all-possessing Heaven, mine adoration have I paid.
