Allah Hu! — VI

Sound Drum and mellow Flute, resounding: Allah hu25!
Dance, ruddy Dawn, in Gladness bounding: Allah hu!
    Sun exalted in the Centre, O thou streaming Light;
Soul of all wheeling Planets rounding: Allah hu!
    O Hearts! O Worlds! how soon your Dancing all would stop,
Did not His Power sustain astounding! Allah hu!
    Love mazy, winding, changing, all embraces,
The Night, the Dawn, the Day, resounding: Allah hu!
    Boom, Sea! on Shore, and Rock, thy Music praising God;
O Nightingale to Rose trill, sounding: Allah hu!
    O Soul, what if one Star should falter in the Dance?
His Will is Order ever founding: Allah hu!
    Who knows Love’s mazy circling, ever lives in God;
For Death, he knows, is Love abounding: Allah hu!

25 He is God.
