What Is It? Poem by Ted Middleton

What Could It Be?

What power high could hidden be
Yet guideth us that all shall see
To light the way and ease our plight
That man not dwell in darkened night
Unwary souls the time is nigh
Believe or you'll be lifted high
And dashed to earth, eternal pain
And ye shall never rise again
As lightning be - let all beware
Ignore this warning if you dare
Heed ye not - and smitten be
Go ye banished to eternity
