In the broad plantings of the mind,
like the twelve and seventy,
we thrust the sickle/sword of Truth
and from the Holy Ghost discern
what to save and what to burn:
gleaning only Mind's great good;
but hide not the burning of the tares
for Christ's baptismal fires—bright,
may guide some pilgrim through the night.
