At the end of the year, if the Offend

the "mourners' bench" rise and declare
his repentance. and be forgiven by the
congregation. This went on for many
years. At last a young darky. who
had been in a particularly objection

the congregation, and everybody began
to shout and say "Amen!"

And on his back the burden of the

Stolid and stunned, a brother to the OK?
Who loosened and let down this brutal
jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back
this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within
this brain?
Is this the Thing the Lord God made
and gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heav-
ems for power;
To feel the passion of Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who
shaped the suns
And marked their ways upon the an
cient deep?

gulf

More tOngued with censure of the

More filled with signs and potents for

More fraught with menace to the uni

him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches of the peaks of
song,
The rift of dawn. the reddening of the

Times tragedy is in that aching stoop:
Through this dread shape humanity
betrayed,
Plundered, profaned and disinherited,
Cries protest that is also prophecy.

Is this the handiwork you give to

This thing distorted and soul-quench-

How will you ever straighten up this

Touch it again with immortality;
Give back the upward looking and the
light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infamies,
Perfdious wrongs. immedicable woes?
o masters. lords and rulers in all lands,
How will the Future reckon with this
Man?
How answer his brute question in that

When whirlwinds of rebellion shake

How will it be with kingdoms and with

With those who shaped him to the
thing he is
When this dumb Terror snail reply to
