Classic and Contemporary Poetry


AD ASTRA: 134 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: IN HIS OWN IMAGE GOD CREATED MAN
Last Line: BUT DOWN THE AGES PROWLS THE SELFSAME RANGE.
Subject(s): CREATION; GOD; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

In His own image God created Man,
And over all things gave him godlike power—
A mind that may His World-Creation scan,
With Conscience as his spiritual dower:
A gift that should preserve him, lest he lower
His nature to the beast which doth not change
But down the ages prowls the selfsame range.
