A poem by G. K. Chesterton

Ecclesiastes

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

There is one sin: to call a green leaf grey,
Whereat the sun in heaven shuddereth.
There is one blasphemy: for death to pray,
For God alone knoweth the praise of death.

There is one creed: 'neath no world-terror's wing
Apples forget to grow on apple-trees.
There is one thing is needful--everything--
The rest is vanity of vanities.






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