THE SOUL'S ANSWER

By Frederic Manning

My soul said unto me: Yea, God is wise

With wisdom far too bright for our weak eyes.

I answered thus my soul: Yea, God is wise!

My soul said unto me: Yea, God is good

And maketh love to be our daily food.

I answered thus my soul: Yea, God is good!

I sent my soul from me that it might tell

The damned and make a Heaven where was Hell,

It smiled and said: Nay, fear not, all is well!
