TWO GODS.

A boy was born mid little things.
Between a little world and sky
And dreamed not OF the cosmic rings
Round Which the circling planets ny.
lie lived In little works and thoughts.
Where little ventures grow and plod-
And paced and plougbed his little plots
And prayed unto his little God
But as the mighty system grew.
His faith grew faint with many scars
The Cosmos x-idened in his view
But God was lost among bis stars
Another boy In lowly days.
As be. TO little things was born.
But gathered lore In woodland ways
And from the glory Of the morn
A wider skies broke on his view.
God greatened in his growing mind;
Each year he dreamed bis God anew,
And left his older God behind
lie saw the boundless scheme dilate,
In star and blossom. sky and ciod;
And as the universe grew great.
He saw In q greater God.
