DEUS ABSCONDITUS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: My god has did himself from me
Last Line: These shadows in the vale below.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


My God has did Himself from me
Behind whatever else I see;
Myself -- the nearest mystery --
As far beyond my grasp as He.

And yet, in darkest night, I know,
While lives a doubt-discerning glow,
That larger lights above it throw
These shadows in the vale below.
