To Spirit-wisdom. If I have the strength

To forge the word of truth into that sword,

That very moment thou must flee from hence.

So hearken well, thou sire of all deceit;

If truth triumphant I proclaim to thee—

In earthly evolution there are times

In which the ancient forces slowly die,

And dying, see the growth of newer ones.

At such a cyclic point my friends and I

Did find ourselves drawn close by spirit-bonds
