A poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Spiritual Laws

________________________________________________
Title:     Spiritual Laws
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson [More Titles by Emerson]

The living Heaven thy prayers respect,
House at once and architect,
Quarrying man's rejected hours,
Builds therewith eternal towers;
Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flame to freeze and ice to boil;
Forging, through swart arms of Offence,
The silver seat of Innocence.


[The end]
Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem: Spiritual Laws
