Religion
Who scatters tares shall reap no wheat
From Verses (1893)
Religion
Who scatters tares shall reap no wheat,
But go hungry while others eat.
Who sows the wind shall not reap grain;
The sown wind whirleth back again.
What God opens must open be,
Tho’ man pile the sand of the sea.
What God shuts is opened no more,
Tho’ man weary himself to find the door.
