" GOD without C HRIST , and C HRIST without the Church ! "
'Tis thus for T RUTH our modern sages search,
Yet T RUTH for ever leaves them in the Iurch.
Religion, grounded in a faithful heart,
Is the great Soul of Truth; Science and Art
Are but her outer and her baser part.
Fatal to her the love of hearts perverse!
Soaring to Heaven, that godlike soul of hers
Leaves but her carcase to her murderers.
