THE EARTH



The earth is yours and mine,
Our God's bequest.
That testament divine
Who dare contest?

Usurpers of the earth,
We claim our share.
We are of royal birth.
Beware! beware!

Unloose the hand of greed
From God's fair land,
We claim but what we need -
That, we demand.



NOW



I leave with God to-morrow's where and how,
And do concern myself but with the Now,
That little word, though half the future's length,
Well used, holds twice its meaning and its strength.
