Quartz from the Uplands

by Lewis McKenzie Turner

To guide thy way and being.

Kill not, dissect not, nor rend or tear,

But see and feel and hear.

The earth, the air and sea abound

With righteous living creatures,

Intent upon some full purpose;—

Aside from man’s estate,

Aside from his designing selfishness, intensely useless graspings, destruction, purposeless desire,

For his good use and keeping,

The forest, field and sea
