Where once the saints and heroes knelt of old?
Not so: the vast in-brothering of man—
The glory of the universe—began
When first the heart of the Mother Darkness heard
The Whisper, and the ancient chaos stirred.
Ever the feet of Christ were in events,
Bridging the seas, shaking the continents.
His feet are heard in the historic march
Under the whirlwind, under the starry arch.
Forever the Great Purpose presses on,
