SONS OF PROMISE by THOMAS CURTIS CLARK

First Line: IN EVERY MEANEST FACE I SEE
Last Line: BUT HAS FOR HIM SOME TREASURE CHASTE.
Subject(s): BROTHERHOOD; MEN;

In every meanest face I see
A perfected humanity;
All men, though brothers of the clod,
Bear promise of the sons of God.

No human ore that does not hold
A precious element of gold;
No heart so blackened and debased
But has for Him some treasure chaste.
