Text:
In after time, when all this dream
Becomes pure dream, and roughest years
Lie down among the tender grass,
And spring up sentient upon the meadow;
In that after time of great-born Aprils,
Beyond a century of tatters and malice,
When love has thrown out fear and madness
The eyes will see the sun as wonder.
In after time, when rage and chaos
Lose their sov'reign force, new dream
Will lift the shining life to spirit
And mate the make of man to merit.
Then shall holy summers come; then laughter
Godlike shake upon a dewy morning;
Then fullness grow - big with purpose,
And man shall know again his richness.
