Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Элла Уилкокс) He That Hath Ears ’He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.’-St. John the Divine. The Spirit says unto the churches, ’Ere ever the churches began I lived in the centre of Being- The life of the Purpose and Plan; I flowed from the mind of the Maker Through nature to man. ’I sleep in the glow of the jewel, I wake in the sap of the tree, I stir in the beast of the forest, I reason in man, and am free To turn on the path of Ascension To the god yet to be. ’I was, and I am, and I will be; I live in each church and each faith But yield to no bond and no fetter, I animate all with my breath; I speak through the voice of the living And I speak after death.’ The Spirit says unto the churches, ’The dead are not gone, they are near And my voice, when I will it, speaks through them, Speaks through them in messages clear. And he that hath ears, in the silence May listen and hear.’ The Spirit says unto the churches, ’So many the feet that have trod The road leading up into knowledge, The steep narrow path has grown broad; And the curtain held down by old dogmas Is lifted by God.’ Ella Wheeler Wilcox's other poems: Распечатать (Print) Количество обращений к стихотворению: 1273 |
