Evolution

All is not finished in the Unseen’s decree !
A mind beyond our mind demands our ken;
A life of unimagined harmony
Awaits, concealed, the group of unborn men

The crude beginnings of the lifeless earth
And mindless stirrings of the plant and tree
Prepared our thoughts for a godlike earth
Broadens the mould of our mortality

A might no human will or force could gain,
A knowledge seated in eternity
A joy beyond our struggle and our pain
Is this earth-hampered creature’s destiny

O thou who climbedst to mind from the dull stone
Turn to the miracled summits yet unknown.
