Liberty's Centennial: a Poem of 1876 (Classic Reprint) Zavarr Wilmshurst

Publisher Marketing: Excerpt from Liberty's Centennial: A Poem of 1876 A spell steals o'er my troubled mindWith beaming dew like Eden's haze, Until my heart, to fate resigned, Like heaven burns with love and praise: A rosy life in silver calm, More gentle than the rays aloft. Sinks on my soul and eyes with balmAnd blessing holy, pure and soft; The mystery of this sereneSeems all divine; what may it meanTo flesh and blood? The tender lightGives archangelic strength to sight, To stretch beyond the farthest sun, And past and present view as one; Ay, ages pierce ere they have birth, O'erlooking all as eagles earth. And set the fettered senses freeTill e'en the blind from birth can see. That light, from neither sun nor moon, I drink as life; I feel it soonFrom the Immortal Inmost roll, And grandly flow from soul to soul.
