Poems

BE TRUE

From the August 1885 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Be true and list the voice within,
Be true unto thy high ideal,
Thy perfect self, that knows no sin—
That self that is the only real.

God is the only perfect one:
My perfect self, one must it be
With God, then,—and that thought begun,
It solveth all the mystery.

If true to God, and God is love,
Then true to love deduce we then:
"Be true" means, true to God above,
To self, and to our fellow men.
