In fellowship of living things, In kindred claims of Man and Beast, In common courtesy that brings Help from the greater to the least, In love that all life shall receive, Lord, I believe. In peace, earth's passion far above, In pity, measured not nor priced, In all souls luminous with love, Alike in Buddha and in Christ, In any rights that wrongs retrieve, Lord, I believe. In truth that falsehood cannot span, In the majestic march of Laws, That weed and flower and worm and man Result from one Supernal Cause, In doubts that dare and faiths that cleave, Lord, I believe. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SEVEN ARTS by ROBERT FROST DOMESTIC SONG by DAVID IGNATOW LETHE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TEARS AND KISSES by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON FRAGMENT by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON MADMAN OF THE SOUTH SIDE by CLARENCE MAJOR |
