Love came to Earth with faith and trust, And found all nations steeped in lust. Sweet Pity came in ways sublime, Her eyes on every side saw crime. Health, peerless, sprang from Heaven's breath, And came to Earth to find -- but Death. While Peace to see our Love and Law Arrived to witness cruel War. Then back to Heaven the angels flew, Their golden pinions draped in dew. * * * * * * Asking whose fault is this, oh God divine, And God serenely answered -- "It is mine." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INEVITABLY (2) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE POET'S TESTAMENT by GEORGE SANTAYANA A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 12.
