There is a destiny that makes us brothers:
None goes his way alone:
All that we send into the lives of others
Comes back onto our own.
I care not what his temples or his creeds,
One thing holds firm and fast
That into his fateful heap of days and deeds
The soul of man is cast.
"A Creed To Mr. David Lubin", stanza 1, LINCOLN & Other Poems (1901), page 25.
