I Worship not some flashes that ne'er shone bright;
I give worth not to the ashes o' what once burned alight.
I preserve the fire; I protect the flame.
My God, eternal, goes by but one name.
Birds have the Eagle; Beast have the Lion.
I shall be kneeling before that King of Mine.
Fishes have the Whale; all Men must obey time.
I pledge my Eastward sword, before My God on High.
