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.

                                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.
