AD ASTRA: 102 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: OUR MINDS ARE FINITE-CAN WE MEASURE HIS?
Last Line: WORLDS YET UNDREAMT OF MAY GO WHEELING BY!
Subject(s): FUTURE LIFE; RETRIBUTION; ETERNITY; AFTER LIFE;

Our minds are finite—can we measure His?
Judge of Infinity by finite laws?—
When of all worlds we fail to unravel This,
How may we solve the Great Primæval Cause?
Our narrow orb of sense its light withdraws,—
While in the unfathom'd spaces of the sky
Worlds yet undreamt of may go wheeling by!
