How May Contentment Dull My Zeal

If one small fact my mind could know
Of matter or of spirit,--
Within, without, above, below,
And never neighbor near it,--
This tiny thing a Universe would be,
Clear as Arabian caves to Sesame.

Then should I scan the littlest laws
Their mightier kin unfolding,
Detect the essence of all Cause
And see the Cosmos molding;
Then should I run, a new-born god, the race
Begun with thought, complete in planet-space.

How might one stay the perfect quest
In surfeit of succeeding?
This were a weak and venal rest--
Vast yonder-wealth unheeding.
This were to make of Knowing that high goal
Which truth declares is Culturing a Soul.

How may contentment dull my zeal,
