 A. NEWBERRY CHOYCE

Supermen

OME souls there are

Who in their trial hours

Bathe in the very blood

Which flows around the heart of Life,

And know its joy—and know its agony.

Daring to follow impulse

That any God Himself would not resist.

Stand back!

You weaklings of the world

Boasting the name of men.

Preening yourselves

And judging with your

"God this——" and "God that——"

Dare not to come

Near these.

Stay with your narrow Gods

Who smugly sit

Within four chapel walls
