TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 4. GRACIOUS MOTHER by EDWARD CARPENTER

First Line: O GRACIOUS MOTHER, IN THY VAST ETERNAL SUNLIGHT
Last Line: IN ASH-HEAPS FOR SALVATION.
Subject(s): HEALING; SALVATION; SIN; CURES;
@3O gracious Mother, in thy vast eternal sunlight
Heal us, thy foolish children, from our sins;
Who heed thee not, but careless of thy Presence
Turn our bent backs on thee, and scratch and scrabble
In ash-heaps for salvation@1.
