歌词
作词 : Thomas Traherne
作曲 : Nico Muhly
The Sun is a glorious Creature and its Beams extend to the utmost Stars
By shining on them it cloaths them with light
And by its Rayes exciteth all their influences
Yet so particularly regardeth all that every Mote in the Air
Every Grain of Dust every Sand every Spire of Grass is wholly illuminated thereby
As if it did entirely shine upon that alone
Yet the Sun is but a little spark among all the Creatures
That are made for the Soul the Soul being the most High and Noble of all
Is capable of far higher Perfections far more full of Life and Vigour in its uses
It can exceed the Heav’ns in all its operations and run out into the infinite spaces
