Crane was a wonderful poet and author; I have that poem written in one of my journals from long ago. I think he was pointing out that we seek answers and protection from the world outside our bodies when we shouldn't bother with that. The universe is only a backdrop in our play, and we are the ones with power.

Apparently Mr. Crane thinks the universe is a liar or has been deceived.
