Upward and onward, in the skyey maze,

Thou wouldst go back and start with them, to raise

A new creation from chaotic throe.

Thou seest plainly that without that breeze,

The breath of God, all that thou couldst create,

Were lifeless, save to turn on thee with hate,

And chase an age with grim atrocities;

But with that breath, thou couldst raise life to mate

The Planet's splendor, in the azures Peace.
