As if a passing cloud concealed the sun Things now are veiled that once shone bright and clear And yet no darkness can obscure the One Whom we have seen upon the soul's frontier.
He has borne the agony that hate's increase Inflicts upon the saviours of mankind, I see behind his rock-like strength the peace Of a vast and calm imperturbable mind.
The cup of worldly poisons he has drained And from his lips our earthly ears have heard, Among the ills by ignorance sustained, The voice of God and the immortal word,
The promise of a love that conquers all. The Bride by him unveiled and luminous Appeared to us amidst the spirit's fall And through her a grace supreme vouchsafed to us
That earth among these million suns and stars And the unnumbered galaxies in space Shall be the home of seers and avatars The bosom of an unconquerable race.
