EVOLUTION

As from the old nest birds escape,As sheds its leaves the living tree,So if evolved from worm or apeWhat odds if we at last are free?If once but dust or ape or worm,A growing brain and then a soul,Sure these are but prophetic germOf that which makes our circle whole.John Albee.

As from the old nest birds escape,

As sheds its leaves the living tree,

So if evolved from worm or ape

What odds if we at last are free?

If once but dust or ape or worm,A growing brain and then a soul,Sure these are but prophetic germOf that which makes our circle whole.John Albee.

If once but dust or ape or worm,

A growing brain and then a soul,

Sure these are but prophetic germ

Of that which makes our circle whole.

John Albee.
