ASCENSION
I have been down in the darkest water -
Alone with the things that are bent on slaughter,
I have fought with fear in my wave-walled prison,
But out of the billows my soul.html">soul has risen
Of all the bitters in life's large store;
That the lords of Karma saw fit to pour,
'Father in heaven, let pass this cup!'
Was the brew held close for my lips to sup.
Yet I have grown strong on the gall Elysian,
And I have been given an inner vision
And I have had word from the great Hereafter -
And mournful weeping has changed to laughter,
And lightly uttered profound belief,
And fought with madness and doubt and grief.
And I speak unfearing, and say 'I know,'
But to God Himself that my debt I owe.
For the ceaseless prayer of a soul is heeded,
And the faith and the light and the knowledge needed
Oh! heart of the world by sorrow shaken,
The seal from the lips of the dead is taken,
There are not many sins.html">sins when once we sift them.
Striving to reach high goals
Some element we find that seems to lift them
Into the realm of pity and compassion.
A chain of sins; descending to desire,
To most unholy deeds,
A rank weed grown from some neglected flower,
And beauty, used to ravage and destroy.
There is one sin alone
It springs from no temptation and no need
And to defame God's laws.
