The Reign of Darkness hath an end. Behold ! Eight stars are gathered in one fiery sign. This is the birth-hour of the Age of Gold ; The false gold pales before the Gold divine. The Christ is calling to the starry fold Of Souls—Arise and shine ! The Isis of the World hath raised her veil One moment, that fresh glory of the stars May glow through winter, where the sun is pale ; Melt snow-bound lilies ; bid the prison bars, Wherein men bow their heads and women wail, Blossom to nenuphars. The sacred lotus of the universe Blossoms this century—a mi…

…ove ! and descend ! I behold Thee, Heaven cloven of fieriest bars, Armed Light ; and they follow and fold Thee, Thine armies of terrible stars. The Powers of Mars ! At the brightness that leapeth before Thee The heavens bow down at Thine ire ; Thick clouds pass to death and adore Thee, Wild hailstones and flashings of fire. The mountains of Ages are shattered ; Perpetual hills are bowed down ; The Winds of the Heaven are scattered, Borne back from Thy furious frown, O Lord of Renown ! In terror and tumult and battle Thy breath smiteth forth as …

…de, for her motherly pain ! Shalt thou, O Columbia, share it, The shame and the stain ? Your stripes are the stripes of dishonour ; Your stars are cast down from the sky ; While earth has this burden upon her, Your eagle unwilling to fly ! Loose, loose the wide wings ! For your honour ! Let tyranny die ! Remember, this day of your glory, Your fight for the freedom you own. Those years—is their memory hoary ? Your chains—is their memory flown ? * At the hour of passing the proof-sheets, however, the Boers are not yet conquered—nor likely to be !…

A helmet flames forth on his forehead, Gold sparks from the forge of the stars, His shield with the Gorgon made horrid Hath blood on its bull-battled bars— Thou God of me, Mars ! He strides through the vibrating aether ; Spurns earth from His warrior feet ; Shakes fire from the forges beneath her ; His glances are fervid and fleet. With a cry that makes tremble the thunder, Light-speared, with a sword that is flame, He bursts the vast spaces asunder. His angels arise and proclaim :…

…ce in the House of the Dead. O Lord ! Thou has said ! The lightnings were kindled and lightened, Thy thunder was heard on the deep ; The stars with Thy Fear shook and whitened, The sun and the moon in the steep. The sea rose in tumult and clamour, The Earth also shook with Thee then, As Thor had uplifted his hammer, And smitten the mutinous men. O ! rise Thou again ! The voice of the Lord is uplifted ; The wilderness also obeys ; The flames of the fire they are rifted ; The waves of the sea know His ways. The cedars of Lebanon hear Thee, The de…

…nderbolts are crashed—against my home. Written in heaven, written on earth, written in the deep, Written by God’s own finger-birth ; the stars may weep, The sun rejoice, that see at last His vengeance strike ; The fury of destruction’s blast ; the fiery spike As of an arrow of adamant, comet or meteor : “ The dog returneth to his vomit : the ancient whore That sitteth upon many waters, even she That called together all her daughters upon the sea ; That clad herself in crimson silk and robes of black And gave men blood instead of milk ; and made…
