Poems (Rumell)/The consuming fire
THE CONSUMING FIRE
Rebell not, at the cold supervision
Of the daily contact with life.
It is thus God has made provision
Of refining the soul through strife!
Of the daily contact with life.
It is thus God has made provision
Of refining the soul through strife!
This struggle, lifts a strong soul higher,
Gives the weaker one strength to pursue:
In fact, it is the consuming fire
Which to spiritual birth we pass through.
Gives the weaker one strength to pursue:
In fact, it is the consuming fire
Which to spiritual birth we pass through.
