Keble. His eye, which comprehending in one view BRYANT. One glance of Thine eternal Lord Pierces all nature through: Nor heaven, nor earth, nor hell afford A shelter from Thy view.

Dread Omnipresent! who dost dwell Through height and depth, from heaven to hell, Earth's gayest scene, most lonely part, The sage's and the sinner's heart: Each erring wish, each useless care, Each sinful thought Thou readest there! Too well Thou knowest the "thing of nought," O pardon each vain glorious thought! To Thee in conscious weakness flies, The guilt which may not shun Thine eyes, Until Thy Spirit breaks the chain.
