I searched out the Universe. 

All the realms of Eternity! 
All the places of Infinity! 
I searched out the sweet,
 Smelling planets,
The silver and red and gold
And diamond stars
That echo on forever with their light.
 

I searched out the.

Mountains of Mars!


The coughing dust storms 
That whirl around on Venus!

I peered into the angry eye of Jupiter!

I caught up with the asteroids;
I searched them.

I ran and caught the satellites of Saturn.
 But He was not there.

I called out to Andromeda!

I pierced the Ring Nebula
And the Horse Head with my eyes!

All in vain!
I pleaded with the Seven Sisters.

I stood up to Orion.
I petted his Dog.
I feared his Lion
And searched out all
The Milky Way.

I hunted the Great Bear and the Little Bear.

I captured Cygnus the Swan in my nets.

The Great Ram 
And Proud White Pegasus
I ran down and captured.

I called out to all the Galaxies


To all the Constellations:

I pleaded with the STARS

But they were dumb.

And finally when I searched out 
All of these....
And found Him not,
I looked inside myself
And found Him in my heart.
