AD ASTRA: 137, by                    
First Line: Before our minds may mirror the divine
Last Line: And in her solitudes find calmer faith.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Mortality; Nature


Before our minds may mirror the divine,
We must bring under sway the stubborn flesh—
Not to the body shall our wills incline,
But to the spirit bathed in light afresh!
Children of Nature! taught by her to thresh
The grain of life from out the husk of death,
And in her solitudes find calmer faith.
