MEDITATION ON A LEAF - a poem
Uncertain as life's doubtful span, | |
This contrast twixt the dark and light | |
Which constitutes an endless fight, | |
Must always thus unanswered be | |
Until that time is reached that we | |
Can dwell upon our whole belief | |
In thoughts unsullied as a leaf, | |
Which comes from Nature, pure and clean, | |
Intricate and lovely to be seen | |
No matter what the body's flaws, | |
No matter what Our Maker's laws, | |
The Soul of man must rule supreme | |
In Memorium: June 11, 1954
