Men can do nothing without the making-believe of a beginning.
When we look at
the glory of stars and galaxies in the sky
the glory of forests and flowers in the living world
the glory of Men and Women
Around us
When to the new eyes of thee
all things by immortal power, Near or far,
Hiddenly
to each other linked.
Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peak of two eternities.
We strive in vain to look beyond the heights.
We cry aloud,
The only answer is the echo of our wailing cry.
From the voiceless lips,
There comes no word;
But listening love can hear the rustle of a wing..
Though my soul may set in darkness,
it will rise in perfect light.
Men can do nothing without the making-believe of an ending.
