<h2><SPAN name="page67"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>JUSTICE</h2>
<p class="poetry">However inexplicable may seem<br/>
Event and circumstance upon this earth,<br/>
Though favours fall on those whom none esteem,<br/>
And insult and indifference greet worth;<br/>
Though poverty repays the life of toil,<br/>
And riches spring where idle feet have trod,<br/>
And storms lay waste the patiently tilled soil—<br/>
Yet Justice sways the universe of God.</p>
<p class="poetry">As undisturbed the stately stars remain<br/>
Beyond the glare of day’s obscuring light,<br/>
So Justice dwells, though mortal eyes in vain<br/>
Seek it persistently by reason’s sight.<br/>
But when, once freed, the illumined soul looks out.<br/>
Its cry will be, ‘O God, how could I doubt!’</p>
