Robert W Service - Design
Work rating: Low

Said Seeker of the skies to me:
"Behold yon starry host ashine!
When Heaven`s harmony you see
How can you doubt control divine,
                Law, order and design?"
                
"Nay, Sire," said I, "I do not doubt
The spheres in cosmic pattern spin;
But what I try to puzzle out
Is that—if Law and Order win
                Where does mere man come in?

"If to the millionth of a hair
Cause and Effect are welded true,
Then there`s no leeway anywhere,
And all we do we have to do,
                And sun and atom too."

O Stars, sing in your harmony!
O Constellations raptly shine!
Flout me because I am not free,
Mock me because no choice is mine!
O Beauty, it so hurts to see!
                —O damnable Design!
