Explore "Justice" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
However inexplicable may seem / Event and circumstance upon this earth, / Though favours fall on those whom none esteem, / And insult and indifference greet worth; / Though poverty repays the life of toil, / And riches spring where idle feet have trod, / And storms lay waste the patiently tilled soil- / Yet Justice sways the universe of God.
As undisturbed the stately stars remain / Beyond the glare of day's obscuring light, / So Justice dwells, though mortal eyes in vain / Seek it persistently by reason's sight. / But when, once freed, the illumined soul looks out. / Its cry will be, ‘O God, how could I doubt! '
