The Fallen World

By Martha A. Kidder

METHINKS ’twas on a perfect day like this, The great Creator, looking on His work, Declared it good; beheld the newborn world, Fresh from His forming hand, as pure as heaven. O holy age! e’er sin and sorrow came To dim thy glory! O beloved World! Though steeped in crime, thy beauty thrills our hearts, Forever lost primeval innocence; Though fallen, yet redeemed by love divine, To eyes not holden thou art lovely still. — Martha A. Kidder, in The Living Church.
