Reflections on New Year’s Eve


 
 
 
The world above in the world below,
(And a million worlds are but as one)
And the One in all; as the sun’s strength so
Strives in all strength, glows in all glow . . .
 
And the dream of the world is dream in dream,
But the one Is is, or nought could seem;
And the song runs round to the song begun.
