Be Not Afraid

The Steps

FREDERICK LAWRENCE KNOWLES

SEIZE your staff! beyond this height We shall find the Infinite Light! Gird your thigh! this sword shall hew Paths that reach the untroubled blue! Though dark mountains form the stair, It is ours to climb and dare! Law, truth, love—the peaks are three: Sinai, Olivet, Calvary!

THERE is no past, 'twas but a dream,— A phantom of the things that seem; The future is not ours, to say What will be, whether yea or nay.
Poem

The Way
