'K [livejournal.com profile] dualinfinity started this...
Each in His Own Tongue ---- William Herbert Carruth

A Fire-Mist and a planet—
A crystal and a cell—
A jellyfish and a saurian,
And caves where the cave-men dwell;
Then a sense of law and beauty,
And a face turned from the clod:
Some call it Evolution,
And others call it God.

A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe, rich tint of the cornfields,
And the wild geese sailing high;
And all over upland and lowland
The charm of the goldenrod”
Some of us call it Autumn,
And other call it God.

Like tides on a crescent sea-beach,
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come welling and surging in;
Come from the mystic ocean,
Whose rim no foot has trod:
Some of us call it Longing,
And others call it God.

A picket frozen on duty—
A mother starved for her brood—
Socrates drinking the hemlock,
And Jesus on the Rood;
And millions who, humble and nameless,
The straight, hard pathway plod:
Some call it Consecration,
And others call it God.
