"Thy mind the secrets of the heaven shall not rend,Nor shall thy hand with bounty feed all earth, nor banish crime forth from her wide domain.For this done by thee, then wert thou God.His hand his earthly purposes doth guide,His eye its watchful guard doth keep,O'er all his creatures locked in sleep.His hand doth lead each fateful being unto his wiser will,For there shall be a glory shadowing all earth,When white-winged Peace shall have her birth."
