The School of Eternity

By Litta Belle Hibben

LITTA BELLE HIBBEN
Do you wish to comprehend the science that will stand Through all enlightened ages yet to be? He who measureth the waters in the hollow of his hand, Will willingly consent to tutor thee.
Do you gaze in awful wonder at the heavens spread abroad, Just one corner of his fathomless domain? When we pass the gates of heaven to the universe of God, Earth’s accumulated questions will be plain.
For, though he took no counsel in the day he brought them forth, And meted out the heavens with a span, Yet in a faultless measure e’en the dust of this old earth Did he, the wise Creator, comprehend.
How we’ll revel in that study in the class of his beloved, In the sciences to him so clear and plain! For he numbered all the millions of the stars around, above, And calleth every moving sphere by name.
Soon on its golden hinge each gate shall swing at his command; We shall enter to be strangers nevermore. He who measureth the waters in the hollow of his hand, Will be our King and Teacher evermore.
Sheridan, Ill.
