Of causes which the Father doth direct;

Each act and thought and movement of his soul

Hath source in God, the Infinite and Whole.

From earthly things man must his body feed;

But doth not soul from Heaven its nurture need?

Doth not the soul yearn for a heavenly cause?

Brothers to brothers linked, and each to all,

Live we one life on this terrestrial ball;

One life of those who live and those who die,
