CREDO, by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I believe in the ultimate justice of fate Last Line: Is guidance enough for the conduct of men. Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John Subject(s): Justice; Racial Equality | ||||||||
I believe in the ultimate justice of Fate; That the races of men front the sun in their turn; That each soul holds the title to infinite wealth In fee to the will as it masters itself; That the heart of humanity sounds the same tone In impious jungle, or sky-kneeling fane. I believe that the key to the life-mystery Lies deeper than reason and further than death. I believe that the rhythmical conscience within Is guidance enough for the conduct of men. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAN TO BE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE WRECKAGE ON THE WALL OF EGGS by THYLIAS MOSS POEM TO NEGRO AND WHITES by MAXWELL BODENHEIM ATLANTA EXPOSITION ODE by MARY WESTON FORDHAM CROATAN by CHAPMAN JAMES MILLING THEY ARE THE SAME by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON TO A LITTLE COLORED BOY by PRISCILLA JANE THOMPSON OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
