GOD THE ARCHITECT, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Who thou art I know not
Last Line: In the heart of man!
Variant Title(s): God, The Architect
Subject(s): Architecture & Architects; God; Religion; Theology


WHO thou art I know not,
But this much I know:
Thou hast set the Pleiades
In a silver row;

Thou hast sent the trackless winds
Loose upon their way;
Thou hast reared a colored wall
'Twixt the night and day;

Thou hast made the flowers to blow,
And the stars to shine,
Hid rare gems and richest ore
In the tunneled mine—

But, chief of all thy wondrous works,
Supreme of all thy plan,
Thou hast put an upward reach
In the heart of Man!
