Explore "Song of the Spirit" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
All the aim of life is just / Getting back to God. / Spirit casting off its dust, / Getting back to God. / Every grief we have to bear / Disappointment, cross, despair / Each is but another stair / Climbing back to God.
Step by step and mile by mile- / Getting back to God; / Nothing else is worth the while- / Getting back to God. / Light and shadow fill each day / Joys and sorrows pass away, / Smile at all, and smiling, say, / Getting back to God.
Do not wear a mournful face / Getting back to God; / Scatter sunshine on the place / Going back to God; / Take what pleasure you can find, / But where'er your paths may wind. / Keep the purpose well in mind,- / Getting back to God.
