Poems (Linn)/Conscious Power

by Edith Willis Linn

CONSCIOUS POWER.

NEVER can a man aspire
 To a deed I would not dare;
Never saint or priest rise higher
 Than the soarings of my prayer.

Did there fail a hero ever
 Whose lost day I might not win?
To all souls of high endeavor
 I have felt my own akin.

All because great God hath given
 Boundless strength to do, to be;
Here on earth I compass Heaven;
 I in Him, and He in me.
