From out the labyrinth of ignorance,

Who sways the sceptre over conquered realms,

Of latent energy and unseen force,

Without condition or conceding term,

Surrenders to that sombre potentate.

Nor can in earth's remotest solitude,

In forest depths or undiscovered isle,

In dismal cavern or secretive cave

Escape the mandate of that grizzly King.

Nor wing of eagle, nor the fabled wings
