God's breath in man returning to his birth,
The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage,

A kind of tune, which all things hear and fear:

Exalted manna, gladness of the best,
Heaven in ordinary, man well dressed,
The milky way, the bird of Paradise,
Church bells beyond the stars heard, the soul's blood,
The land of spices; something understood.
