Poems

TRUE FREEDOM

From the August 1945 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The earthquake did not loose his chains for Paul,
Nor swing the gates that sealed his prison wall.
It was his understanding set him free:
He knew the meaning of true liberty.

The truth that Paul used is as true today
As when his bonds and prison bars gave way;
And when we rightly claim our sovereignty,
We, too, shall find, like Paul, that we are free.
