AD ASTRA: 128 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: FAITH BORN OF REVERENCE EVER LIVES AND GLOWS
Last Line: IF HERE THE SOUL ITS LAST BRIGHT WEB IS WEAVING?
Subject(s): EARTH; MANKIND; WORLD; HUMAN RACE;

Faith born of Reverence ever lives and glows—
He that hath seen God's mystic fingers traced
Upon the Hills and their eternal snows,
Will last deny the Presence that hath placed
This little Planet in the boundless waste.
What vails it all our striving and achieving,
If here the soul its last bright web is weaving?
