Social Commentaries

A Creed

by Edwin Markham 1852–1940

From Lincoln & Other Poems (1901)

Social Commentaries

There is a destiny that makes us brothers:
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own.

I care not what his temples or his creeds,
One thing holds firm and fast—
That into his fateful heap of days and deeds
The soul of a man is cast.
