How one by one the gates of God unfold!

Swiftly a sword by Unseen Forces hurled,

And then a man rising against the world!

II

Oh, import deep as life is, deep as time!

There is a Something sacred and sublime,

Moving behind the worlds, beyond our ken,

Weighing the stars, weighing the deeds of men.

Take heart, O soul of sorrow, and be strong:

There is One greater than the whole world’s wrong.
