AD ASTRA: 148, by                    
First Line: Two roads present themselves to every man
Last Line: And soul or body now must meet the blade!
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Life; Religion; Theology


Two Roads present themselves to every man—
The Way of Christ, beset with thorns and tears,
The other roof'd with many a flowery span,
And redolent of all that life endears—
In each the smoke of sacrifice appears:
Two victims are upon Life's altar laid,
And Soul or Body now must meet the blade!
