CALM, by                    
First Line: From out the great eternal I reach to take my own
Last Line: The world is a little better because I live today.
Subject(s): Calm; Placid; Undisturbed; Tranquility


From out the great Eternal I reach to take my own,
The Atom that is only me I place upon a throne.
To the vast "Unknown" I raise my eyes,
I have no name or creed,
But in the hour of quiet thought
It fills my greatest need.
I can and I will is written in every luminous ray,
The world is a little better because I live today.
