What Can Not Be Solved On Earth Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

stars mired in the labyrinths, casebooks closed.

beautiful volumes still

immortalize the Rose

canny the imposters

pounding at the door

don't answer.

whistle and I'll not come

the motto of this hour.

those who can will wield again

illegitimate power

God alone stands ready

luminous on the Field

yield to Him and you will have

the shield of all that's real

casebooks opened by the watchmen of the night

what cannot be solved on earth

in Heaven, will, in Light.
