Creeds change,
All outward forms
Recast themselves.
Sacred groves, temples and churches
Rise and rot and fall.
Races and nations
And the various tongues Of men
Come and go and are
Recorded, numbered,
And forgotten in the repetition
And the drift
OF many ages.

May be different.
But there lives no man
Nor ever lived one
Who, in the silence Of his heart
Feeling his need,
Has not cried out,
Shaping some prayer
To the unchanging God.
