"Then You and I and All of Us Fell Down"

By Delwin Rees Buckner

By Delwin Rees Buckner
As, shaken from its branch invisible, A milky comet plunges down through space, Loud hissing as it speeds at lightning pace, So Lucifer, the adversary, fell,— That proud insurgent, tempted to rebel Against God's government, who lost the place That once he held before his Maker's face, But found a world to conquer through his spell. Ah! Woe is mine! My flesh would all be whole Had not man's mother chosen to believe The angel who revealed the flagrant flaw, A cancer in the entrails of his soul, Whose sole vocation e'er is to deceive Those who would cling to God's eternal law.
