Happy Birthday !

The giant sons of Darkness sit and plan

The drama of the earth, their tragic stage.
All who would raise the fallen world must come

Under the dangerous arches of their power;

For even the radiant children of the gods

To darken their privilege is and dreadful right.
None can reach heaven who has not passed through hell.

He entered into dumb despairing Night

Challenging the darkness with his luminous soul.

Falsehood gave back to Truth her tortured shape.

He imposed upon dark atom and dumb mass

The diamond script of the Imperishable,

Image 4

There poured a wide intimate and blissful Dawn,

Healed were all things that Time’s torn heart had made

And sorrow could live no more in Nature’s breast:
Division ceased to be, for God was there.

The soul lit the conscious body with its ray,

Matter and Spirit mingled and were one.
