Poems

THE TRUE ABOVE

From the September 1897 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Look not above,
As up to sun or star,
To find your heaven,
For Heaven is here,—
Is God, and God is near,
Not far, and He is All.

Thou canst not go to Him
As unto earthly king,
For God is Spirit, mind,
And must be sought
In highest, purest thought—
The true above.

Therein our Resurrection,
Its beginning, its completion,
Shown us by our brother,
Sent of God, the Father,
To reveal the way of Love,
Which, to know, is our Above.
