Classic and Contemporary Poetry


AD ASTRA: 86 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: ARE NOT OUR LIVES GIRT ROUND WITH MYSTERIES
Last Line: AND SHALL IT NOT THE LEAST OF LIFE CONTROL?
Subject(s): FAITH; LIFE; BELIEF; CREED;

Are not our lives girt round with mysteries
That mock the shadowy substance of our years?
And shall we find our answer in the skies
That break as lightly as a maiden's tears?
In Faith alone may we resolve our fears—
Infinite Wisdom wrought the Cosmic Whole,
And shall It not the least of life control?
