The Supernal's Call


I saw Beauty stealing through the clouds of night,

Almost it seemed with a surreptitious smile

As if she knew that darkness hid delight

And she would bear our ignorance awhile.

I saw them singing from the highest trees,

The harbingers of the new world to come,

Melodious their chant, the strains of peace

Descending through the realms of Christendom,

Echoing their joy in the Far East,

Announcing the defeat of Evil's reign

And the annihilation of the Beast,

The Light that lights the suns to come again.

I saw wonder blossom in the children's eyes,

A harmony entwine the hearts of all,

A truth invincible the mind surprise

And men awake to the Supernal's call.
