WISDOM, by EDWIN E. DEAL
First Line: Do you know where good ends / and just where
Last Line: Than the having of many worlds of wealth.
Subject(s): Wisdom
First Line: Do you know where good ends / and just where
Last Line: Than the having of many worlds of wealth.
Subject(s): Wisdom
Do you know where good ends,
And just where bad begins --
Where the strongest link is in a chain,
When to pull, and just where to refrain?
To know these things is to win
A just victory over sin;
And does more to assure You of yourself,
Than the having of many worlds of wealth.
