On starry heights	B
A bugle wails the long recall	C
Derision stirs the deep abyss	D
Heaven's ominous silence over all	C
Return return O eager Hope	E
And face man's latter fall	C
Events they make the dreamers quail	F
Satan's old age is strong and hale	F
A disciplined captain gray in skill	G
And Raphael a white enthusiast still	G
Dashed aims at which Christ's martyrs pale	F
Shall Mammon's slaves fulfill	G
	-
Dismantle the fort	H
Cut down the fleet	I
Battle no more shall be	J
While the fields for fight in ons to come	K
Congeal beneath the sea	J
	-
The terrors of truth and dart of death	L
To faith alike are vain	M
Though comets gone a thousand years	N
Return again	O
Patient she stands she can no more	P
And waits nor heeds she waxes hoar	P
	-
At a stony gate	Q
A statue of stone	R
Weed overgrown	R
Long 'twill wait	Q
	-
But God his former mind retains	S
Confirms his old decree	J
The generations are inured to pains	S
And strong Necessity	J
Surges and heaps Time's strand with wrecks	T
The People spread like a weedy grass	U
The thing they will they bring to pass	U
And prosper to the apoplex	U
The rout it herds around the heart	V
The ghost is yielded in the gloom	W
Kings wag their heads Now save thyself	X
Who wouldst rebuild the world in bloom	W
	-
Tide mark	Y
And top of the ages' strike	Z
Verge where they called the world to come	K
The last advance of life	X
Ha ha the rust on the Iron Dome	A2
	-
Nay but revere the hid event	B2
In the cloud a sword is girded on	C2
I mark a twinkling in the tent	B2
Of Michael the warrior one	D2
Senior wisdom suits not now	E2
The light is on the youthful brow	E2
	-
Ay in caves the miner see	U
His forehead bears a blinking light	F2
Darkness so he feebly braves	U
A meagre wight	F2
	-
But He who rules is old is old	G2
Ah faith is warm but heaven with age is cold	G2
	-
Ho ho ho ho	H2
The cloistered doubt	I2
Of olden times	U
Is blurted out	I2
	-
The Ancient of Days forever is young	J2
Forever the scheme of Nature thrives	U
I know a wind in purpose strong	K2
It spins against the way it drives	U
What if the gulfs their slimed foundations bare	L2
So deep must the stones be hurled	M2
Whereon the throes of ages rear	N2
The final empire and the happier world	M2
	-
The poor old Past	O2
The Future's slave	X
She drudged through pain and crime	P2
To bring about the blissful Prime	P2
Then perished There's a grave	X
	-
Power unanointed may come	K
Dominion unsought by the free	U
And the Iron Dome	A2
Stronger for stress and strain	M
Fling her huge shadow athwart the main	M
But the Founders' dream shall flee	U
Agee after age shall be	U
As age after age has been	Q2
From man's changeless heart their way they win	Q2
	-
And death be busy with all who strive	X
Death with silent negative	X
	-
YEA AND NAY	R2
EACH HATH HIS SAY	R2
BUT GOD HE KEEPS THE MIDDLE WAY	R2
NONE WAS BY	S2
WHEN HE SPREAD THE SKY	S2
WISDOM IS VAIN AND PROPHESY	R2

The gloomy lull of the early part of the winter of seeming big with final disaster to our institutions affected some minds that believed them to constitute one of the great hopes of mankind much as the eclipse which came over the promise of the first French Revolution affected kindred natures throwing them for the time into doubt and misgivings universal	T2
