A poem by Eugene Field

Horace I, 34

________________________________________________
Title:     Horace I, 34
Author: Eugene Field [More Titles by Field]

I have not worshiped God, my King--
Folly has led my heart astray;
Backward I turn my course to learn
The wisdom of a wiser way.

How marvelous is God, the King!
How do His lightnings cleave the sky--
His thundering car spreads fear afar,
And even hell is quaked thereby!

Omnipotent is God, our King!
There is no thought He hath not read,
And many a crown His hand plucks down
To place it on a worthier head!





[The end]
Eugene Field's poem: Horace I, 34
