A poem by G. K. Chesterton

Ultimate

________________________________________________
Title:     Ultimate
Author: G. K. Chesterton [More Titles by Chesterton]

The vision of a haloed host
That weep around an empty throne;
And, aureoles dark and angels dead,
Man with his own life stands alone.

'I am,' he says his bankrupt creed:
'I am,' and is again a clod:
The sparrow starts, the grasses stir,
For he has said the name of God.






[The end]
G K Chesterton's poem: Ultimate
