The Realm of Love

WILLIAM COLWELL BARTLETT

Man does not live unto himself alone,
In consciousness divine he acts and moves,
Nor hates, nor fears, but hears God's Word—and loves.
And so, in holy work to lift the stone
Of false belief from human thought, we find
We must, along with self, bring all mankind
Into the realm of God's dear love.

This purer, clearer sense of perfect love
Thus sees and proves the brotherhood of man.
For naught is known of His blest, perfect plan
Save what is glimpsed through radiance from above,
Illuming, loving, all—excluding none,
But bringing thee and all mankind, as one,
Into the realm of God's great love.
