GOD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Ten thousand worlds his face behold
Last Line: And as the father, so the child.
Subject(s): Fathers; God; Religion; Theology


TEN thousand worlds His face behold,
Beneath His feet the stars are dust,
Yet man contains Him all in all.
In our rude speech He speaks His will,
Not wild the sibyl's frenzy was,
Nor was the prophet's warning vain;
Still brightly burns the hallowed fire,
And stammering lips the message breathe:
The Love creative reappears,
And as the Father, so the child.
