There is no atheism. Men avow A disbelief their hearts can never feel. Faith in a God was planted on the brow Of Adam in the Garden, and the heel Of ruthless evolution cannot grind The thought of Him from out the creature's mind. He is a part of all our woe and weal. Despite his boast of self-sufficiency Man feels within his soul an urge to bow Before the Godhood and, instinctively, He turns him to his Maker. Hopes and fears Bespeak his limitations. Smiles and tears The Father's silent testimony bear And love itself is partially a prayer. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE VILLAGE by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE RETURN (2) by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON TO CARMEN SYLVA (QUEEN OF ROUMANIA) by EMMA LAZARUS DOMESDAY BOOK: DOMESDAY BOOK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS |
