First Line: We are all blind, until we see
Last Line: The builder also grows.
Subject(s): Religion; Theology
We are all blind until we see
That in the human plan
Nothing is worth the making if
It does not make the man.
Why build these cities glorious
If man unbuilded goes?
In vain we build the work, unless
The builder also grows.
