Poems

The title to our new-found wealth, dear friend,...

From the July 1916 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The title to our new-found wealth, dear friend,
Runs with the power to make our lives more free,
More generous, more gentle; to the end
That all may share God's gift to you and me.
I see thy features in each human face,
I hear thy mandate in each civic call,
I own thy kindred in the lowliest race,
I love thy likeness in the souls of all.
Thou shalt seek me where noble duty draws,
Thou shalt find me where kindly mercy leads,
Thou shalt serve me in serving a just cause,
Thou shalt love me in doing lovely deeds.
Our friendship for each other lasts so long
As both shall love the right and hate the wrong.
