Why do I dare love all mankind?...

Henry Septimus Sutton

Why do I dare love all mankind?
'T is not because each face, each form.
Is comely, for it is not so:
Nor is it that each soul is warm
With any God-like glow.
Yet there's no one to whom's not given
Some little lineament of heaven,
Some partial symbol, at the least, in sign
Of what should be, if it is not, within,
Reminding of the death of sin
And life of the Divine.

Henry Septimus Sutton.
