And laugh, the errors Of sullied creed

Nor sought 20 save them In the hour Of need.
Proud Faith that welded antique forms Of Sin
Tns. mined the mig h.shsde with the heavenly seed
That gained g conquest mid the battles din,
Or sousht By rack and lame It's children back 10 win.
Legends Of bones ard coats and moulderins rags,

While laoorers Of Hope their prayers prolong
To Tolls high worship. AcTfoSl Mornings Tyre
The golden beams that make the shades retire
Sends down the mountain slope It's holy strain
The vision Of the aching hearts desire
And while long shadows linger on the plain,
The opening flowers expand to catch the light again.
The worlds deep seep 10 now an ancient myth
50 strange 1t seems to light-sccustomed eyes
whose record points TO Heaven monoliih
OF darkness and OF death its corner lies
10 graves and charnels where the spirit dies
In pale faced fear bus whore IN unnumbered dead
Once more TO life and vIgof shall arise -
Tn empyrean shows the sunbesms overhead thread
While giants shake the earth down the sbyss they
Tho dreaming world awskensi Mornings call
Rolls round the earth In numbers clear ana strong.
On distant isles the welcome sound shall fall.
And on the iswny tribes OF Asias throng,
while Aries sunburnt children, doomed TO wrong,
shall Join the Jsphei race. and swell on high
The lie command, The worlds redemption song.
TIL Heavens full beam shall MI the azure sky
Aad In amending Day the Mornings Lish. shall die.
