God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.

God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.

God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers, And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face, A gauntlet with a gift in it

God's gifts put men's best dreams to shame.

Thou large-brained woman and large-hearted man.

And each man stands with his face in the light of his own drawn sword. Ready to do what a hero can.
