Mute—to consent, that:

“All! has been sung and writ”?

No! Insistingly, Persistently beat loud upon the temple door—steeled well to hear the mock and din and laughter and deriding, doubting shouts of those within,

That you may full awake the throng without—

Those who sleep, work, hope and pray.

You must proclaim again, again,

This Truth!

The multitude at last will stand aghast, amazed, ashamed;

Thy liberty deny,

Yea, crucify.
