“A Life Perfected”
text adapted from
Mary Baker Eddy's
“The New Century”
Written in earth,
on leaf and flower:
Love hath one race,
one realm, one power.
Dear God!
how great,
how good Thou art
To heal humanity's sore heart;
–
To probe the wound,
then pour the balm
A life perfected,
strong and calm.
–
The dark domain
of pain and sin
Surrenders and Love
enters in,
And peace is won,
and lost is vice:
Right reigns, and blood
was not its price.
