“Oh, give us riches, of love’s glorious kind, That come from openness of heart and mind! Recall to us the story which doth say
When base or cruel men pass this way
Nothing at all is freely offered then
Save hollow echoes – yet how wondrous when
A man impelled by guileless love goes by:
The very gold deep in the earth doth cry;
“Take me and use me for the greater good
For all creation and for brotherhood.”
Amen.”
