“LOVE AND CHERISH ONE ANOTHER!”

Creation will be incomplete,
Never will it reach perfection,
While the poor from rich men meet
Cold and feelingless rejection.
Nature's aim will ne'er be gained,
'Till each practise with his brother,
The law by God himself ordained,—
“Love and cherish one another!”
Heart with heart must join in peace,
Envious state must disappear;
War and tumult then will cease
To rack the human breast with fear:
Pride must be dismissed the soul,
Man all angry feelings smother;
And these words his heart control,—
“Love and cherish one another!”
