Classic Poem

Empire of Sorrow,
Kingship of woe,
Now nor to-morrow,
Peace can'st thou know.
Spirit beneficent,
Hallowed thy way,
Herald malificent,
Envied thy sway.
Tho' in the twilight,
Bent to the blow,
In Heaven's high light,
Radiant twill glow.

One in the ages,
Died on the Cross,
Saw then the sages,
Gain in His loss.
Kinder humanity,
New blessings shed,
When Christianity,
O'er the earth spread.
And its example,
Guiding thy sway,
Gives to Earth's people,
A beacon for aye.
