PHILOSOPHY by ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

Poet Analysis

First Line: AT MORN THE WISE MAN WALKED ABROAD
Last Line: "JEHOVAH, GOD, SAVE THOU MY CHILD."
Subject(s): ANGELS; GOD; NIGHT; PHILOSOPHY & PHILOSOPHERS; BEDTIME;
At morn the wise man walked abroad,
Proud with the learning of great fools.
He laughed and said, "There is no God --
'T is force creates, 't is reason rules."

Meek with the wisdom of great faith,
At night he knelt while angels smiled,
And wept and cried with anguished breath,
"Jehovah, @3God,@1 save thou my child."
