Текст пісні
In placid hours well pleased we dream
Of many a brave unbodied scheme
But form to lend, pulse it life create
What unlike things must meet and mate
A flame to melt, a wind to freeze
Sad patience, joyous energies
Humility yet pride and scorn
Instinct and study, love and hate
Audacity, reverence
These must meet and fuse
With Jacob's mystic heart
To wrestle with the angel art
In placid hours well pleased we dream
Of many a brave unbodied scheme
But form to lend, pulse it life create
What unlike things must meet and mate
A flame to melt, a wind to freeze
Sad patience, joyous energies
Humility yet pride and scorn
Instinct and study, love and hate
Audacity, reverence
These must meet and fuse
With Jacob's mystic heart
To wrestle with the angel art
