Religion
After-Word
From The Book of the Little Past (1910)
Religion
And shall we light the candle now?
And leave, since there is so much more,
Our cupful, and the share of bread,
Here by the open door?
For some one might be wanting it,
If there should chance to come this way,
A very poor Man; or a Bird;--
Or maybe, God, some day.
