This is truth: this that was made
When the stars long paths werelaid
when eternity was planned.
When the stars came from the hand
That alone could marx the place
Each in its appointed place.
This istruth: the changeless sea
Where unaccOunted wonders be,
And. the sure resistless tide
With its impulse ilalf-world wide:
Tide that sways by east and west
With the worlds ships on its breast.
This Is truths the bill and plain,
And the sunshine. and the rain;
And the shrub that simply knows
II must blossom with the rose:
And the tree that gives its share
IN the fruit that it must bear.

Truth? We fools think It must hide
Some place else than tree or tide.
Some place farther than the stars
Sope place bound by mystic bars.
Fettered by unyielding bands
Which defy our clumsy hands.
This is truth: this that was sung
when the stars first song was flung
Out across the centuries;
This; the hills and plains and seas

Thar are still untouched by man.
