Savoir C'est Pardonner.

Topics: classic

Myriad rivers seek the sea,     The sea rejects not any one;     A myriad rays of light may be     Clasped in the compass of one sun;     And myriad grasses, wild and free,     Drink of the dew which faileth none.     A myriad worlds encompass ours;     A myriad souls our souls enclose;     And each, its sins and woes and powers,     The Lord He sees, the Lord He knows,     And from the Infinite Knowledge flowers     The Infinite Pity's fadeless rose.     Lighten our darkness, Lord, most wise;     All-seeing One, give us to see;     Our judgments are profanities,     Our ignorance is cruelty,     While Thou, knowing all, dost not despise     To pardon even such things as we.
