Religion
Ours Is The Choice
From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)
Religion
Most gracious choice!
What is a soul without a voice?
A noble thought develops noble deeds,
Words give thought freedom, words are wings,
Deft carriers of mysterious things
Too glorious to behold;
They bear swift witness to our needs
And make the true heart bold,
To mirror forth in language quaint,
The image fancy cannot paint.
