Stand up and reach your heart"s desire!"
(The Apple Blossom"s set.)
As Adam was a-working outside of Eden-Wall, He used the Earth, he used the Seas, he used the Air and all; And out of black disaster He arose to be the master Of Earth and Water, Air and Fire, But never reached his heart"s desire!
(The Apple Tree"s cut down!)
THE PRAYER
My Brother kneels, so saith Kabir, To stone and bra.s.s in heathen-wise, But in my brother"s voice I hear My own unanswered agonies.
His G.o.d is as his fates a.s.sign, His prayer is all the world"s--and mine.
