Read Heart of God of General William Booth enters into Heaven and other Poems, free online book, by Vachel Lindsay, on ReadCentral.com.

  O great heart of God,
  Once vague and lost to me,
  Why do I throb with your throb to-night,
  In this land, eternity?

  O little heart of God,
  Sweet intruding stranger,
  You are laughing in my human breast,
  A Christ-child in a manger.

  Heart, dear heart of God,
  Beside you now I kneel,
  Strong heart of faith.  O heart not mine,
  Where God has set His seal.

  Wild thundering heart of God
  Out of my doubt I come,
  And my foolish feet with prophets’ feet,
  March with the prophets’ drum.
