Homeward!
Traveller, hast thou never heard of Sridham Mayapur,
The holy Abode of God manifest to our view in the Iron Age?
Yea, God has His invisible Home everywhere,
And visibly in the hearts of those who serve Him in the spirit;-
Of which the homes of poor mortals are but a faint,
Distorted shadow. Our earthly homes are a hollow bubble
That is ever pricked by the springing thorns of evil.
