Truth lights our minds as sunrise lights the world	A
The heart that shuts out truth excludes the light	B
That wakes the love of beauty in the soul	C
And being foe to these despises God	D
The sole Dispenser of the gracious bliss	E
That brings us nearer the celestial gate	F
They who might feed on rose leaves of the True	G
And grow in loveliness of heart and soul	C
Catch at Deception's airy gossamers	E
As children clutch at stars To some the world	A
Is a bleak desert parched with blinding sand	H
With here and there a mirage fair to view	G
But insubstantial as the visions born	I
Of Folly and Despair Could we but know	J
How nigh we are to the true light of heaven	K
In what a world of love we live and breathe	L
On what a tide of truth our souls are borne	I
Yet we're but bubbles in the whirl of life	M
Mere flecks upon its ever restless sea	E
Meteors in its ever changing sky	N
Eternity alone is worth the thought	O
That we expend upon the passing hour	P
Chasing the gaudy butterflies that lure	Q
Our footsteps from the path that leads us home	R
We will not see the beacon on the rock	S
The prompter is unheeded and the spark	T
Of the true spirit quenched in utter night	B
As we rush headlong wrecked on Error's shoals	E
Some hearts will never open all their wards	E
	-
Have grown so rusty that the golden key	E
Of Love Divine must fail to move the bolt	U
That Self has drawn to keep God's angels out	V
	-
So spake the merry Margery the while	W
Her fingers lengthened out a filigree	E
That seemed to me so many golden threads	E
Of thought between her fingers and her brain	X
Bestrung with priceless pearls her lightsome mood	Y
Worn as occasion might necessitate	F
Replaced to night by sober sided Sense	E
That made her beauty like an eve in June	Z
Just as the moon is risen I to mark	T
My approbation of her present mood	Y
Rehearsed a rambling lyric of my own	A2
That seemed prophetic of her thoughts to night	B
	-
Within my mind there ever lives	E
A yearning for the True	G
The Beautiful and Good God gives	E
These as He gives the dew	G
	-
That falls upon the flowers at night	B
The grass the thirsty trees	E
Because 'tis needful and the light	B
That suns my mind from these	E
	-
Truth Beauty Goodness doth but fill	B2
A void within my soul	C
And I fall prone before the Will	B2
Of Him who gave the whole	C
	-
The wondrous life the power to think	C2
And love and act and speak	D2
Standing half poised upon the brink	C2
Of being strong yet weak	D2
	-
Strong in vast hopes but weak in deeds	E
I lift my heart and pray	E2
That where the tangled skein of creeds	E
Excludes the light of day	E2
	-
From human minds God's purposes	E
May be made plain that all	F2
May walk in truth's and wisdom's ways	E
And lay aside the thrall	F2
	-
Of enmity whose clouds have kept	G2
Their souls as dark as night	B
That they whose love and hope have slept	G2
May come into the light	B
	-
And live as men with minds to grasp	H2
Within the sphere of thought	O
The boundless universe and clasp	H2
The good the wise have sought	O
	-
As if it were a long lost dove	I2
Or a stray soul returned	J2
To worship in the fane of love	I2
That it so long had spurned	J2
	-
Where'er I gaze my eyes behold	K2
Nought but the beautiful	L2
The world is grand as it is old	K2
The only fitting school	M2
	-
For man where he may learn to live	N2
And live to learn that what	O2
He needs heaven will in mercy give	P2
Whatever be his lot	Q2
	-
He shapes it for himself his mind	R2
Is his own heaven or hell	S2
Just as he peoples it he'll find	R2
Himself compelled to dwell	S2
	-
With good or evil Good abounds	E
In this delightful sphere	T2
But man will walk his daily rounds	E
And evermore give ear	U2
	-
To the false promptings that waylay	E2
His steps at every turn	V2
Flinging the true and good away	E2
For joys that he should spurn	V2
	-
As being all unworthy of	I2
His greatness as a man	W2
Why man why tremble at the scoff	X2
Of fools and bigots Scan	W2
	-
The mental firmament and see	E
How men in every age	Y2
Who strove for immortality	E
Whose errand was to wage	Y2
	-
Not War but Peace men of pure minds	E
Who sought and found the truth	Z2
And treasured it as one who finds	E
The secret of lost Youth	Z2
	-
Restored and made immortal see	E
How they were scorned because	E
Their Sphinx lives spake of mystery	E
To those to whom the laws	E
	-
Of nature are as clasp d books	E
Poets who ruled the world	A
Of Thought in whose prophetic looks	E
And minds there lay impearled	A
	-
But hidden from the vulgar sight	A
Such universal truths	E
That many blinded by the light	A
Gray haired green gosling youths	E
	-
With whips of satire looks of scorn	I
And finger of disdain	X
Have crushed these harbingers of morn	I
But could not kill the strain	X
	-
That was a part of nature's mind	A
And therefore can not die	A
That which men spurned angels have shrined	A
Among God's truths on high	A
	-
And so 't will ever be till man	W2
Knows more of Goodness Truth	Z2
And Beauty more of nature's plan	W2
And Love that brings back youth	Z2
	-
To hearts that have grown frail and old	A
By groping in the dark	T
With blinded eyes their idol Gold	A
And Gain their Pleasure bark	T
	-
'Tis well that nature hath her ministers	E
She said her voice and looks so passing sweet	A
Great hearts that let in love and keep it there	A3
Like the true flame within the diamond's heart	A
Informing blessing chastening their lives	E
Man has but one great love his love for God	A
All other loves are lesser and more less	E
As they recede from Him as are the streams	E
The farthest from the fountain God is Love	I2
Who loves God most loves most his fellow men	B3
Sees the Creator in the creature's form	C3
Where others see but man and he so frail	D3
The very devils are akin to him	E3
There is no light that is not born of love	I2
No truth where love is not its guiding star	F3
Faith without love is noonday without sun	K
For love begetteth works both good and true	G
And these give faith its immortality	A
	-
We parted at the outer door The stars	E
Seemed never half so bright or numberless	E
As they appeared to night Margery's laugh	G3
Tripped after me in merry cadences	E
Like the quick steps of fairies in the air	A3
United to the chorus of their hearts	E
Breathed into silvery music Happy soul	C
Nature's epitome in all her moods	E
