Through thee alone can mortals rise from earth
To soar into Eternity—God’s Peace;
Through thee alone can man perceive the light—
The Sun of Wisdom,[[158]] which shall soon appear
Acknowledged King supreme of all that is,
Which He hath made in love for all mankind.
Woman! behold a groaning world awaits
The crushing of the Serpent’s power through thee;
Look on the fairest cities of this globe,
In misery the love-starved of the earth
