WE ARE ETERNAL.
On whistling stormcloud; on Zephyrus
wing,
The Spirit-choir loud the World-anthems
sing
Hark! Lis't to their voice
“we have passed through death's door
There's
no Death; rejoice! life lives evermore.”
We are, have always been, will ever
be.
We are a portion of
Eternity
Older than Creation, a part of One
Great Whole,
Is each Individual and immortal
Soul.
[pg 041]
On Time's whirring loom our garments
we've wrought
Eternally weave we on network of
Thought,
Our kin and our country, by Mind
brought to birth,
Were patterned in heaven ere molded on
earth.
We have shone in the Jewel and danced
on the Wave,
We have sparkled in Fire defying the
grave;
Through shapes everchanging, in size,
kind and name
Our individual essence still is the
same.
And when we have reached to the highest
of all,
The gradations of growth our minds
shall recall
So that link by link we may join them
together
And trace step by step the way we
reached thither.
Thus in time we shall know, if only we
do
What lifts, ennobles, is right and
true.
With kindness to all; with malice to
none,
That in and through us God's will may
be done.
