Poems

Naaman

From the August 1948 issue of The Christian Science Journal


From pride that planned how healing would be wrought,
From wrath that bade him turn away from Love,
From a material thought of self, unclean,
"Then went he down."

Led by his servants' gentle, loving grace,
Humbly obedient to the message given,
He glimpsed man's perfect self, the child of God,
"And he was clean."
