The wonder-worker, Science, with his wand,

Subdues an alien world to man's desires.

And Art with wide imaginative wings

Stands by, alert for flight, to bear his lord,

Into the strange heart of that alien world

Till he shall live in it as in himself

And know its longing as he knows his own.

Behind a little, where the shadows fall,

Lingers Religion with deep-brooding eyes,

Serene, impenetrable, transpicuous
