| An Exhortation.
We shall see,
The mansions of the mighty,
Battered down to rubble,
By the hubris of the fathers.
The sea shall reclaim its own,
The forest shall wither into sand,
He that taught all arts to men,
Except the art of Love,
Will smile and smile again,
While his students seek to prove,
That this is the best that's ever been
And is getting better still.
Every mother believes her son a saint,
Every father knows him better.
The stars sing in their majestic firmament,
Young man, join in!
