Religion

The World

by Cale Young Rice 1872–1943

From Plays and Lyrics (1906)

Religion

Vox desperans.

The World is a wind--on which are blown
All mysteries that are.
Out of a Void it sprang--and to
A Void shall spring, afar.

Vox sperans.

The World is Visible God--who is
Its Soul invisible.
There is no Void beyond that He
Abiding fills not full.
