	A
	-
Is it a will o' the wisp or is dawn breaking	B
That our horizon wears so strange a hue	C
Is it but one more dream or are we waking	B
To find at last that dreams are coming true	C
	-
	-
	-
Far off and faint a golden line is streaking	B
The cloudy night that shrouds the life of man	D
It is the sun that dim eyes have been seeking	B
Through all blind pathways since the world began	D
	-
	-
	-
The sign to weary heart and waiting nation	E
That day will come to bring them their release	F
That late or soon through storm and tribulation	E
Or with slow change the earth shall rest in peace	F
	-
	-
	-
That One invoked with half despairing passion	E
Through years and years of wrong will right us then	G
Will take away in rude or gentle fashion	E
The curse that man has laid on brother men	G
	-
	-
	-
Ah blessed One our souls go out to meet thee	H
At whose feet Hope will fold her tired wing	B
And yet we know not how we ought to greet thee	H
And take the gifts thy bounteous arms will bring	B
	-
	-
	-
Come not O friend with vengeful weapons borrowed	I
Of them that warred against thee sword and flame	J
For all alike have suffered and have sorrowed	I
And all alike have sinned against thy name	J
	-
	-
	-
Come thou to men who groan in sore affliction	E
A breathing spirit of new life and grace	K
Come in thy robes of light and benediction	E
That all may recognize thy perfect face	K
	-
	-
	-
Yet as thou must come soon for them than need thee	H
And thou wilt come Deliverer great and strong	L
Brighten O tender dawn though few may heed thee	H
And bring the day that we have sought so long	L
	-
	-
	-
No class strife then each man against his neighbour	C
No waste no want to breed the plague of crime	M
No insolent pomp no hard and sordid labour	C
No wars no famines in that happier time	M
	-
	-
	-
But pleasant homes and good days growing better	C
Contented hearts throughout the tranquil land	I
That keep the law in spirit and in letter	C
Which we have been so dull to understand	I
	-
	-
	-
And fruitful work instead of barren duty	H
With fruitful rest and leisure interweaved	H
And life made bright with plenty and with beauty	H
And souls made strong with noble aims achieved	H
	-
	-
	-
Great Art no more the plaything of the idle	N
But nurse and handmaid to all human needs	O
Great Nature curbed no more with bit and bridle	N
Nor men's religion crushed in bitter creeds	O
	-
	-
	-
Nor sacred Love a crime a jest an error	C
To keep or lose to give or to suppress	P
A secret shame an anguish and a terror	C
A curse to them that it was meant to bless	P
	-
	-
	-
All round our narrow lives the tide encroaches	Q
Distant and dim but spreading far and fast	H
O Liberty thy longed for reign approaches	R
That is to give man's birthright back at last	H
vasts	R
	-
	-
	-
And must we go who see the new age dawning	B
While yet we suffer in the pangs of birth	S
Nor breathe one breath of the divinest morning	B
That yet has come to bless our waiting earth	S
	-
	-
	-
Oh must we go just when the day is growing	B
Oh must we waste with vast and vain desires	R
Like sparks put out when viewless winds are blowing	B
We lit and quickened with supernal fires	R
	-
	-
	-
Are we to read no more the wondrous pages	R
Of this great tale that evermore goes on	T
Will suns and stars light up eternal ages	R
With happier worlds and we alone be gone	U
	-
	-
	-
Never to learn the moral of the story	H
Why we have toiled for what we must not keep	V
Why we have fought to win no crown of glory	H
Why we have sown what unborn hands will reap	V
	-
	-
	-
Never to learn wherefore our Maker sent us	R
With these immortal passions in our breast	H
Ah me Ah me Wherewith can we content us	R
To know so much and not to know the rest	H
