Title A name given to the resource What the Voice Said Description An account of the resource Maddened by Earth's wrong and evil, "Lord!" I cried in sudden ire, "From thy right hand, clothes with thunder, Shake the bolted fire! "Love is lost, and Faith is dying; With the brute the man is sold; And the dropping blood of labour Hardens into gold. "Here the dying wail of Famine There the battle's groan of pain; And, in silence, smooth-faced Mammon Reaping men like grain. "'Where is God, that we should fear him?' Thus the earth-born Titans say; 'God! if thou art living, hear us!' Thus the weak ones pray. "Thou, the patient Heaven upbrainding," Spake a solemn voice within; "Weary of our Lord's forebearance, Art thou free from sin? "Fearless brow to Him uplifting, Canst thou for his thunders call, Knowing that to guilt's attraction Evermore they fall? "Know'st thou not all germs of evil In thy heart await their time? Not thyself, but God's restraining, Stays their growth of crime. "Couldst thou boast, oh child of weakness! O'er the sons of wrong and strife, Were their strong temptations planted In thy path of life? Thou hast seen two streamlets gushing From one fountain, clear and free, But by widely varying channels Searching for the sea "Glideth one through greenest valleys, Kissing them with lips still sweet; One, mad-roaring down the mountains, Stagnates at their feet. "Is it choice whereby the Parsee, Kneels before his mother's fire; In his black tent did the Tartar Choose his wandering sire? "He alone, whose hand is bounding Human power and human will, Looking through each soul's surrounding, Knows its good or ill. "For thyself, while wrong and sorrow Make to thee their strong appeal, Coward wert thou not to utter What the heart must feel. "Earnest words must needs be spoken When the warm heart bleeds or burns With its scorn of wrong, or pity For the wronged, by turns. "But, by all thy nature's weakness, Hidden faults and follies known, Be thou, in rebuking evil, Conscious of thine own. "Nor the less shall stern-eyed duty To thy lips her trumpet set, But with harsher blasts shall mingle Wailings of regret." Cease not, Voice of holy speaking, Teacher sent of God, be near, Whispering through the day's cool silence, Let my spirit hear! So, when thoughts of evil doers Waken scorn or hatred move, Shall a mournful fellow feeling Temper all with love. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John G.
