The priest in
Anna Karenina
When he asks
Levin
“And what
Will you say
To your children
When they ask
‘Who, father,
Made the earth
And the sky
And all things
Beautiful
That we love?’
Will your doubts?
Melt away then son?
And will you know the answer
The one to tell them
The one that was always there
In your
Unvanquished
Heart?
”
