Religion
A World Beyond
From An American Anthology, 1787–1900 (1900)
Religion
Science long watched the realms of space,
A planet’s devious path to trace:
Convinced of heaven’s harmonious law,
“A world beyond” Leverrier saw.
Thus when he views earth’s sins and woes,
With a like faith the Christian knows
There is a world beyond, to prove
God’s perfect wisdom, power, and love.
