Page:Roses in Rain, by Lilian Wooster Greaves, 1910.pdf/11

 So we read God’s plan thro’ the mind of man, And our vision is overcast; But clear and pure and strong to endure Rise truth and faith at last.

Man seeks by strife to order his life— Plants roses where wild-flowers grew— The beauty of pride for the beauty that died, And the roses shall perish too.

Man seeks to plan for his brother-man How he shall worship or pray. Thu fires of his zeal hurt, and not heal; But his “knowledge shall vanish away.’’

And pride of race, or creed, or place, Like tongues and prophets shall cease When the voice above speaks “God is love" And “In Me ye might have peace.”
