; After :. trying to remember and
speak of all the principal features
of the- fair, and fearing we had for
gotten something we a3ked our little

I Care not how the great God made
The stars, the universe, the suns;
What methods Love and Time displayed
Through labors wholly undismayed,
Where Love's divining" Purpose runs;
. Nor whether in the dimming past '
Our chemistry with God were thrilled
. And held potentially and fast .,
; Our dreams of Heaven and the last
Sweet visions with which life is filled
Or that he dropped them one by one,
Great type-lives from the endless sea :
Where Love throbs in the overtone
Of Hope and Heaven and the lone ' .
Sweet murmur of Paternity! -
I only care, ah, only care 1
That God is here, there, everywhere!

That it was done; that all, Somewhere,
Came forth in due time, Ringing fair .

I only care that from the dark
Uncertain ages came the Real, . ,
The Everlasting, the Vital Spark, -s"
The Yearnings that forever hark
Forward where our spirits feel;
I only care that just beyond

Nearer far than yon thin frond
Of fern leaf is the thinning bond
That holds me from the. love3 I hear!
I only care that closer than
My breath to life, is God to man!
