Lord of the far horizons,

Give us the eyes to see

Over the verge of sundown

The beauty that is to be.

Give us the skill to fashion

The task of Thy command,

Eager to follow the pattern

We may not understand.

 

Master of ancient wisdom

And the lore lost long ago,

Inspire our foolish reason

With faith to seek and know.

When the skein of truth is tangled,

And the lead of the sense is blind,

Foster the fire to lighten

Our unilllumined mind.

Bliss Carman, 1861-1929
