DEDICATION
TO THE SEVEN WATCHMEN
_Seven Watchmen sitting in a tower,
Watching what had come upon
mankind,
Showed the Man the Glory and the Power,
And bade him
shape the Kingdom to his mind.
'All things on Earth your will shall
win you'
('Twas so their counsel ran)
'But the Kingdom--the
Kingdom is within you,'
Said the Man's own mind to the Man.
For
time, and some time--
As it was in the bitter years before,
So it shall
be in the over-sweetened hour--
That a man's mind is wont to tell him
more
Than Seven Watchmen sitting in a tower._
