At Her Feet

In an everlasting moment of the soul

I knelt by Her and felt the force of Grace

Envelop me and penetrate my tears

And looked upon the vision of a face

That knew the genesis of all our pain,

Our births and deaths, future, present, past,

Enfolding mortal life in Her embrace

That in a mould divine She might recast

The human spirit foundered in its form,

Unable still through atavism's laws

To break in cell and gene the higher light,

And join the human portion to its Cause.

By Her, in Her, through Her we shall awake,

Be done with death and entropy defeat,

All-beauty tune our minds, all-love our hearts

And bow in joy's submission at Her Feet.
