Lean on no mortal, Love, and serve; / (For service is love's complement) / But it was never God's intent, / Your spirit from its path should swerve, / To gain another's point of view. / As well might Jupiter, or Mars / Go seeking help from other stars, / Instead of sweeping ON, as you. / Look to the Great Eternal Cause / And not to any man, for light. / Look in; and learn the wrong, and right, / From your own soul's unwritten laws. / And when you question, or demur, / Let Love be your Interpreter.
