*****
And the old man there was a blessed man, for toilless he wanted nought,
And vice and toil on the little ones no longer their ruin wrought;
And the feeble in body and mind had there no longer a care for bread;
For out of the plenty that was for all, ’twas theirs the first to be fed.

And peace was forever in that fair land, for no man envied his mate,
And no man’s treasures, where all were rich, woke his brother’s sleeping hate,
And the kingdom that Christ had promised was now for all men to see,
And the name of that happy kingdom was, “The land of the soon be be.” (Text.)
