GODS 



Surprised by doubt, and longing but to know, 



I asked of men and books what God might be : — 

 *An immanent spirit, clothed with the world we 

 see' — 



* A King of kings, ruler of all below ' — 



* Pure Love* — * A golden calf set up for show' — 



*A jealous chief and tribal sectary' — 

 ' Figment of fear and Man's serviHty ' — 

 *The final Judge that dooms to joy or woe' . . . 



I turned away ; and found my God alone. 



God is the world — yet captive in our thought : 

 Our thought — when it the head of the world is 

 grown : 



Love — with what love we to ourselves have taught. 

 The Soul must incarnate Divinity, 

 And God in each anew must builded be.
