Mighty Works Concealed

Are we neglecting mighty, wondrous works? Yet in another guise than men have known,

Among appearances. I understand that man's life spent upon this earth

Is labour and struggle, in clarity or obscurity, in ways familiar and unknown;

And likewise that man must bear a sound, beneficent message, measured

By the Creator, not the creature. It may be I perform a deed that seems to men noble and grand,

Yet is in truth defiled, for its aims are harmful—judgment, then, belongs to God alone.
