The hushed Fates lean expectant from their seat.

He will be calm and reverent and strong,

And, carrying in his words the fire of song,

Will send a hope upon these weary men,

A hope to make the heart grow young again,

A cry to comrades scattered and afar:

Be constellated, star by circling star;

Give to all mortals justice and forgive:

License must die that liberty may live.

Let Love shine through the fabric of the State—
