Love? First give justice! There’s nothing above!

And then you may love!

TO A GOOD MANY.

O blind and selfish! Helpless as the beast

Who sees no meaning in a soul released

And given flesh to grow in—to work through!

Think you that God has nothing else to do

Than babble endlessly the same set phrase?

Are life’s great spreading, upward-reaching ways

Laid for the beasts to climb on till the top
