SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS, by                    
First Line: The lord of all the lore that man had found
Last Line: Unveil the hidden beauty of his face.
Subject(s): Clergy; Religion; Saints; Priests; Rabbis; Ministers; Bishops; Theology


The lord of all the lore that man had found,
He placed the dream the longing heart had won
Above the webs of logic subtly spun,
And reason with white revelation crowned;
In skies too vast for wondering thought to sound
His soul was lifted like a lonely sun
About whose fire mysterious planets run
And by whose law the scattered stars are bound.
Beyond the garnered wisdom of the earth
He sought the starlit deep with spirit led
Through adoration to Love's dwelling-place;
Till in the Host where life has mystic birth
He saw the God Who gave the Wine and Bread
Unveil the hidden beauty of His Face.
