THE baleful era of King Gold has vanished	A
And men disgusted with the part they played	B
From out the temple of their hearts are banished	A
The idols that debased the souls they swayed	B
	-
Man yet hath passions and the cause of passions	C
And so will have in his best future state	D
But he hath reason too by which he fashions	C
Them into servants for a purpose great	D
	-
Instead of self hood and of actions cruel	E
Inspired by Love heroic deeds abound	F
And Charity's esteemed a richer jewel	E
Than ever yet in Orient mine was found	F
	-
Instead of falsehood Truth his speech inspireth	G
Inspires his thought and permeates the man	H
Till lo the utter'd word a worth acquireth	G
Which merely written missives never can	H
	-
Instead of Superstition grim and hideous	I
Religion triumphs and whate'er obtain	J
No longer Envy can with hints invidious	I
Cause man to visit brother man with pain	J
	-
Thus in ways manifold sublime and glorious	I
The God sprun tenants of the earth at last	K
Arise o'er every mortal ill victorious	I
That made their life a hell life in the past	K
	-
No longer prompted by fell aspirations	C
Doth man send havoc into realms afar	L
But gains from acts of peace more prized ovations	C
Than ever gratified the sons of war	M
	-
No longer to his inner part disloyal	E
He learneth from the still small voice he scorn'd	N
How to become a king in act more royal	E
Than ever yet a throne of gold adorn'd	N
	-
No longer bound to themes abhorred or hated	O
On highest subjects is the mind employed	P
And as by war no Land is desolated	P
From lack of love no heart is left a void	P
	-
By cords of sympathy before the altar	Q
Not chains of gold are youth and virgin led	P
And when the trite 'I will' their accents falter	Q
From hearts 'tis faltered in affection wed	P
	-
No want of union and no fatal duel	E
Fought by two hearts in silence grim if not	P
In cruel actions or in words as cruel	E
The lot of wedlock makes a bitter lot	P
	-
A circle round the hearth stone young and olden	R
The family gather and their feelings blend	P
And interblend till in a concord golden	R
As one they labour for a noble end	P
	-
In time those circles form but inner circles	S
To circles greater till the Nations act	P
As one vast soul whose sphere with glory sparkles	S
And heaven the dream on earth is heaven the fact	P
	-
Onward and upward move the Nations onward	P
And ever upward thus the earth born move	T
Till like the gilded fane that pointeth sunward	P
Their soul flames touch the flames of those above	U
	-
Then in a way hard to be comprehended	P
As hills are cleft were hills ere time began	H
So are the barriers asunder rended	P
Which kept apart the Angel and the Man	H
	-
Illumed by a light celestial even	V
To them the light beyond the Veil's unfurled	P
And messages of import sweet are given	R
Unto the outer from the inner world	P
	-
Not dead are found those whom by death seemed	P
captured	P
Not tho' their dust be scattered by the wind	P
Not dead but living and with hearts enraptured	P
Still toiling for the dear ones left behind	P
	-
United soul to loving soul united	P
Blent heaven and earth in one harmonic whole	W
Glory to God shout one and all united	P
And halleluiah rings from pole to pole	W
	-
The baleful era of King Gold is vanished	P
The idols that debased the soul they chain'd	P
From out the temple of the heart are banished	P
And the Millenium's at last obtained	P
