Then a sense of law and beauty, And a face turned from the clod Some call it Evolution, And others call it God. A haze on the far horizon, The infinite tender sky, The ripe, rich tints of the cornfields, And the wild geese sailing high, And all over upland and lowland The charm of the golden-rod Some of us call it Autumn, And others call it God. Like tides on a cresent sea-beach, When the moon is now and thin, Into our hearts high yearnings Come swelling and surging in Come from the mystic ocean Whoso rim no foot 1ms trod Some of us call it Longing, And others call it God. A picket frozen on duty, A mother starved for her brood, Socrates drinking the hemlock, And Jesus on the rood, And millions who humble and nameless, The straight, hard pathway trod Some call it Consecration, And others call it God.
