What developments vast in the end of things!
The issue of thousands and millions of slain,
The end of all wars, and the victor’s sure gain—
There’s a league worth while, toward the end of things;
A league of the nations, the long coming star
The prophets of old fore-glimpsed from afar,
A brotherhood true toward the close of things.
The last of the martyr, who passed with a prayer,
The last for the felon, who died in despair—
All good and all ill in the end of things?
