Explore "Upward" by Mary Baker Eddy on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ I've watched in the azure the eagle's proud wing, / His soaring majestic, and feathersome fling -- / Careening in liberty higher and higher -- / Like genius unfolding a quenchless desire.
/ Would a tear dim his eye, or pinion lose power / To gaze on the lark in her emerald bower? / When higher he soareth to compass his rest, / What vision so bright as the dream in his breast!
/ God's eye is upon him. He penciled his path / Whose omniscient notice the frail fledgling hath. / Though lightnings be lurid and earthquakes may shock, / He rides on the whirlwind or rests on the rock.
/ My course, like the eagle's, oh, still be it high, / Celestial the breezes that waft o'er its sky! / God's eye is upon me -- I am not alone / When onward and upward and heavenward borne.
