Poem by Wallace Henry Thurman

God's Edict

Let the wind-rolled waves tell the tale of the sea,
And the talkative pines tell the tale of the tree;
Let the motored purr of the automobile
Tell the hum-drum tale of power and steel.
Let the blithesome chirp tell the tale of the bird,
And sad, low sounds tell the tale of the herd;
Then enthrone man on the dunce's stool
And let his tale be the tale of the fool.
