AD ASTRA: 171 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: YEA: UNITY!-BUT UNDER GOD, NOT MAN
Last Line: AH, FROM THIS BOND MAY CLOSER UNION SPRING!
Subject(s): GOD; HEAVEN; TOGETHERNESS; PARADISE;

Yea: Unity!—but under God, not man—
No papal domination for the weak!—
The arch of Heaven is not too wide a span
To ensphere the freedom that the soul doth seek,
The silence where His Many Voices speak.
He that is not against, is for the King—
Ah, from this bond may closer union spring!
