John Mccrae God Poems
- 1. Unsolved
Amid my books I lived the hurrying years,
Disdaining kinship with my fellow man;
Alike to me were human smiles and tears,
I cared not whither Earth's great life-stream ran,
... - 2. The Hope Of My Heart
“Delicta juventutis et ignorantius ejus, quoesumus ne memineris, Domine.”
I left, to earth, a little maiden fair,
... - 3. The Dying Of Pere Pierre
“. . . with two other priests; the same night he died,
and was buried by the shores of the lake that bears his name.”

... - 4. The Dead Master
Amid earth's vagrant noises, he caught the note sublime:

Fit song for heroes gathered in the banquet-hall of God.
... - 5. Recompense
I saw two sowers in Life's field at morn,

Into a nation all his great heart thought,
Unsatisfied until he should achieve
The grand ideal that his manhood sought;

And sudden, in the midst of it, there came
One who spoke boldly for the cause of Right.
