Interpretation, dost thou say Whilst thou interpret night as day? Reservation, canst thou pray When Faith no longer lights the way? Rejection, sure 'tis Satan's day When Holy Writ is torn away! And dost thou think God's work is vain, That man should write the Book again, That science now doth light the way For modern seers of today, While in the distant long ago The Holy Spirit did not know? Such minds and hands should they indite, Wouldst thou have Krishnamurti write? From whence the spirits, think thou well, From Heaven above or depths of Hell? Whose hands, think thou, would seize the reins? Wait, wait, 'til Satan's bound with chains. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SISTER'S TRAGEDY by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH TORRISMOND; AN UNFINISHED DRAMA by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES A DAY IN THE CASTLE OF ENVY by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT HEREAFTER by RONALD LEWIS CARTON COUNTRY SAYING by JOHN CLARKE (17TH CENTURY) DARWIN by EDWARD JAMES MORTIMER COLLINS |
