Here you will find the Poem To A Bigot of poet George Essex Evans

To A Bigot

Here am I sent a wanderer like to thee,
And here a moment ere the night I stand.
The twin eternities?Has Been, Shall Be?
Gird me on either hand. 
My joy or grief?the flicker of a wing
Of some brief insect in the blinding glow!
One moment down the wind my voice shall ring.
This, and no more, I know. 

My soul went out amid the ways of men,
By land and sea, and to the stars o?erhead.
I deemed it lost when it came back again.
?Is there a God?? I said. 

?Thou fool,? it answered, ?all are truly kin.
God is the Soul of all?no power apart.
God is the spark Divine that glows within
The Temple of the Heart.?
