English poem

“The world's a train at speeding rate...

by (1835–1900)

Listen in the reader

"The world's a train at speeding rate; An iron track its wheels await; We're all on board—beyond is darkness, For God is only a name for Fate."

Thus mouths and blasphemes round about An age in bondage to its doubt. "Pray!" says the soul, and God, and Christ—and Freedom affirm with a ringing shout

"Believe in God, believe in Me," Is freedom's voice like sounding sea, Its grand AMEN from Him that liveth And holds of this, and all worlds, the key.
