Chapter 22

From THE FINAL THOUGHT

From THE FINAL THOUGHT

Which way are my feet set?Through infinite changes yetShall I go on,Nearer and nearer drawnTo thee,God of Eternity.How shall the human grow,By changes fine and slow,To thy perfection from the life-dawn sought:What is the highest thought?Love! Faith is born of it!Death is the scorn of it!It fills the earth and thrills the heavens above:And God is love,And life is love and though we heed it not,Love is the final thought.Maurice Thompson.

Which way are my feet set?

Through infinite changes yet

Shall I go on,

Nearer and nearer drawn

To thee,

God of Eternity.

How shall the human grow,

By changes fine and slow,

To thy perfection from the life-dawn sought:

What is the highest thought?

Love! Faith is born of it!

Death is the scorn of it!

It fills the earth and thrills the heavens above:

And God is love,

And life is love and though we heed it not,

Love is the final thought.

Maurice Thompson.
