A thing that neither is; nor yet can cease;
Which uncreation can alone release。

17。

But when I turn and grasp the making hand;
And will the making will; with confidence
I ride the crest of the creation…wave;
Helpless no more; no more existence' slave;
In the heart of love's creating fire I stand;
And; love…possessed in heart and soul and sense;
Take up the making share the making Master gave。

18。

That man alone who does the Father's works
Can be the Father's son; yea; only he
Who sonlike can create; can ever be;
Who with God wills not; is no son; not free。
O Father; send the demon…doubt that lurks
Behind the hope; out into the abyss;
Who trusts in knowledge all its good shall miss。

19。

Thy beasts are sinless; and do live before thee;
Thy child is sinful; and must run to thee。
Thy angels sin not and in peace adore thee;
But I must will; or never more be free。
I from thy heart came; how can I ignore thee?
Back to my home I hurry; haste; and flee;
There I shall dwell; love…praising evermore thee。

20。

My holy self; thy pure ideal; lies
Calm in thy bosom; which it cannot leave;
My self unholy; no ideal; hies
Hither and thither; gathering store to grieve
Not now; O Father! now it mounts; it flies;
To join the true self in thy heart that waits;
And; one with it; be one with all the heavenly mates。

21。

Trusting thee; Christ; I kneel; and clasp thy knee;
Cast myself down; and kiss thy brother…feet
One self thou and the Father's thought of thee!
Ideal son; thou hast left the perfect home;
Ideal brother; to seek thy brothers come!
Thou know'st our angels all; God's children sweet;
And of each two wilt make one holy child complete。

22。

To a slow end I draw these daily words;
Nor think such words often to write again
Rather; as light the power to me affords;
Christ's new and old would to my friends unbind;
Through words he spoke help to his thought behind;
Unveil the heart with which he drew his men;
Set forth his rule o'er devils; animals; corn; and wind。

23。

I do remember how one time I thought;
〃God must be lonelyoh; so lonely lone!
I will be very good to himah; nought
Can reach the heart of his great loneliness!
My whole heart I will bring him; with a moan
That I may not come nearer; I will lie prone
Before the awful loveliness in loneliness' excess。〃

24。

A God must have a God for company。
And lo! thou hast the Son…God to thy friend。
Thou honour'st his obedience; he thy law。
Into thy secret life…will he doth see;
Thou fold'st him round in live love perfectly
One two; without beginning; without end;
In love; life; strength; and truth; perfect without a flaw。

25。

Thou hast not made; or taught me; Lord; to care
For times and seasonsbut this one glad day
Is the blue sapphire clasping all the lights
That flash in the girdle of the year so fair
When thou wast born a man; because alway
Thou wast and art a man; through all the flights
Of thought; and time; and thousandfold creation's play。

26。

We all are lonely; Makereach a soul
Shut in by itself; a sundered atom of thee。
No two yet loved themselves into a whole;
Even when we weep together we are two。
Of two to make one; which yet two shall be;
Is thy creation's problem; deep; and true;
To which thou only hold'st the happy; hurting clue。

27。

No less than thou; O Father; do we need
A God to friend each lonely one of us。
As touch not in the sack two grains of seed;
Touch no two hearts in great worlds populous。
Outside the making God we cannot meet
Him he has made our brother: homeward; thus;
To find our kin we first must turn our wandering feet。

28。

It must be possible that the soul made
Should absolutely meet the soul that makes;
Then; in that bearing soul; meet every other
There also born; each sister and each brother。
Lord; till I meet thee thus; life is delayed;
I am not I until that morning breaks;
Not I until my consciousness eternal wakes。

29。

Again I shall behold thee; daughter true;
The hour will come when I shall hold thee fast
In God's name; loving thee all through and through。
Somewhere in his grand thought this waits for us。
Then shall I see a smile not like thy last
For that great thing which came when all was past;
Was not a smile; but God's peace glorious。

30。

Twilight of the transfiguration…joy;
Gleam…faced; pure…eyed; strong…willed; high…hearted boy!
Hardly thy life clear forth of heaven was sent;
Ere it broke out into a smile; and went。
So swift thy growth; so true thy goalward bent;
Thou; child and sage inextricably blent;
Wilt one day teach thy father in some heavenly tent

31。

Go; my beloved children; live your life。
Wounded; faint; bleeding; never yield the strife。
Stunned; fallen…awake; arise; and fight again。
Before you victory stands; with shining train
Of hopes not credible until they are。
Beyond morass and mountain swells the star
Of perfect lovethe home of longing heart and brain
