THE PAST 1 The past , death and pain are not acts of God, But of law-breaking man, Who therefore lives in dread And sensing evil, wants oblivion ! 2 But is he not like a child in a dray Crying, "Oh, look, the oak's Disappearing in the wood...", While the oak's still and the child's borne away ? 3 The past is now - though somewhat far : Behind the dray a village barn, And not something somewhere Never seen by man!... |
