Religion
The Coronation
From Niagara, and Other Poems (1904)
Religion
’Tis not enough to hold the faith
To saints and sages given;
Truth asks of thee a fealty
Like her fair throne in heaven.
Transmute it into character,—
Translate it into life;
And crown thy creed with golden deed
And love that conquers strife.
