I've gone o'er those who this assume,
This Bacon taught, this Newton thought,
Or nearly, on the whole,
Immanuel Kant also;
Laland, D'Holback, Lucretius, Hume,
To this the Egyptian mind was brought
And Straus and Ingersoll;
Five thousand years ago.
And what was gathered in the search
Yes, brought unto a God like ours,
Or thought, or was inferred,
A sole almighty one,
From Gibbon's broad and deep research
And then to Gods of different powers
To Darwin's final word.
By whom all things were done.

Who thought that forces, under laws,
The God that out of Egypt's land
Throughout the realms of space,
Had brought the Hebrew free,
Are of existing things the cause,
And gave to him the stern command,
And made the human race.
" No other God but me,"
Who made the forces and the laws,
Was unto him a God of awe,
Or whence, or how they came,
Who Israel had sustained,
If by design, or without cause,
And would, while it obeyed the law
He ventured not to name.
On Sinai's Mount obtained.

And yet this wondrous world of ours
That written law, no future life
Is all upon a plan,
Had it to him assured,
Its forces, limits, laws and powers,
God's care on earth, his aid in strife,
As far as known to man.
Was all that it procured.
Then why should he, howe'er astute,
An oral law, it was conceived,
At Plato's maxim pause ?
That future life supplied,
There is a being absolute,
But what the Pharisee believed
Creator and first cause.
The Sadducee denied.
