A BETTER PLACE

by

(For Andrew Young)

I often grieve for our world to be

A better place to live -- that people would

Incur a universal allergy

To wickedness, and do the best they could:

Forsaking evil, prejudice, and hate;

Beholding God in reverence again;

Learning to love; learning to tolerate;

Abolishing whatever causes pain;

Performing good only for good's own sake!

Ringing out sadness with the bells of mirth!

Ah, then, and only then, could mankind make

Eden anew upon this bitter earth --

Each man, an Adam; every woman, Eve;

But undefiled! then no more would I grieve.
