The Bohemian Hymn

________________________________________________
Title:     The Bohemian Hymn
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson [More Titles by Emerson]

In many forms we try
To utter God's infinity,
But the boundless hath no form,
And the Universal Friend
Doth as far transcend
An angel as a worm.

The great Idea baffles wit,
Language falters under it,
It leaves the learned in the lurch;
Nor art, nor power, nor toil can find
The measure of the eternal Mind,
Nor hymn, nor prayer, nor church.

[The end]
Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem: Bohemian Hymn
