The Dawn
Æons may pass before my hopes for earth are all
fulfilled;
But let “the dawn” approach, I pray, Before my lips are
stilled!
And let true knowledge cover earth As waters cover sea
Knowledge of truth, knowledge of
love, Knowledge, dear God, of Thee!
I wait the music of the spheres, The rhythmic pulse of
earth,
Which, when Death’s angelus doth ring, Announce
immortal birth:
In that blest home beyond the veil No discord rends the
air.
The law of harmony prevails And love reigns everywhere.
Dante
