And the butterfly, though in shroud he

In dim surprise;
For all things shall rise.
Gently kind spring has awakened the iow-

Swiftly the grub on the wing, with new pow

Ever with refuent wave and strong motion
Landward now march the forces OF ocean,

For all things do rise.

Making men wise,
Telling OF blessed truths plainly perceptible
To love-lit eyes.
Telling OF Heaven and the happy Tomorrow
Telling Of JOY with no vestige OF sorrow,
And Of bright eyes,
Where love never dies
