The encoding was carried out following principles of the Göttingen TEI-Micropublication Project, which are:

Page breaks are encoded using pb n to preserve pagination.

Use of head for headers.

Use of lg type poem for independent poems and lg type stanza for stanzas. Use of l for poems with the n with the number of verse.

Dialogue and speech displayed in different blocks in the original text are encoded using sp with speaker elements to distinguish voices.

Quotations are marked with cit, quote and (when necessary) epigraph, with the possibility of using full bibliographic information provided in bibl using persistent identifiers (GND and Wikidata).

Use of name type person ref for people, name type organisation for organisations and name type place ref for locations, linking to external authority files (GND).

Emphasis and stylistic features (e.g., italicised) are marked with rend attributes.

Sections written in a language other than the main language of the text are marked using the attribute xml:lang.

Line breaks in verses and headers are marked with the lb.

Line breaks are not kept in other elements. In the case of line breaks between words, the new line is replaced with a space. If there is a line break within a word, hyphenation is normalised by joining the word parts and removing the hyphen. The resulting word is rendered as a single unit.

Clear spelling errors are corrected. Historical orthographic variants are preserved as in the original. Historical characters, such as ſ, are also preserved. White space between words and punctuation are modernised.

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends ofthe world. Rom. x. 17, 18. There is a music flowing through the years The mystic time, and times, and half time- With cadence sweet and solemn, like achime Heard in a city's roar. To hearing ears 'Tis the authentic chanting of those spheres That, round the single Day-star of the soul, Through the set seasons in their courses roll, With light and song for him who sees and hears. Behold, these diverse Truths reflect One Lord: And, like a bow of circling sound, they blend In the full sweetness of their heptachord All tones of the Beginning and the End. I listen, Lord: O touch my lips with fire, That singing in their tune I may not tire.
