Which from the world—in darkness—hath been hid
Because the world in darkness will exist,
And, living thus, man sins against himself
And so against his loving God of Life.
The promised Light appeared at evening time,
And by its living rays did I perceive—
Mankind to wander on in sin and shame;
Thus HELL prevails to-day where heaven should be....
Wm. C. Eldon Serjeant.
London, 6th December, 1887.
