Wrapped in his mantle on the height of land,

Brood on the welter of the lives of men

And dream of his ideal hope and promise

In the blush sunrise? Shall he base his flight

Upon a more compelling law than Love

As Life's atonement; shall the vision

Of noble deed and noble thought immingled

Seem as uncouth to him as the pictograph

Scratched on the cave side by the cave-dweller

To us of the Christ-time? Shall he stand
