The Bible: a poem



 

THE BIBLE

We search the world for truth. We call

The good, the true, the beautiful,

From graven stone and written scroll,

From all old flower-fields of the soul;

And, weary seekers of the best,

We come back laden from our quest,

To find that all the sages said

Is in the Book our mothers read.

- John Greenleaf Whittier (As quoted in College Press Bible Study Textbook Series)
