Swept back the veil, removed the ban,

And demon-ridden, and accursed with fear,

I stalked, once more primeval man.

Ah me, this thing, cast from the pit of night,

Knew naught but savagery and lust;

I searched in vain for truth, for love, for light,

Then bid him vanish back to dust.

Within the mystic caverns of our souls.

Undaunted through my soul again I sped,
