 
If Paul in Athens' street left nothing more Than what he found when deep in sacred thought, He stood and marvelled o'er what had been wrought,— The To the Unknown God of heathen lore,— Then were he only one on thought's wide shore To lose his name in others. But, heaven-taught, Declared he God as known forevermore. Paul's words, made deep and strong by martyred life, Are more than vision deified. They are Love's balm to permeate true mental strife, And bring to sin-sick weary souls a star Of hope born of temptation's struggles rife. To the Known God. Through Paul we dare thus far. August, 1887. |
