THE MAKING OF THE SOUL OF MAN, by                    
First Line: I am grown haggard and forlorn, from dreams
Last Line: Unto the making of the soul of man.
Subject(s): Mankind; Soul; Human Race


I am grown haggard and forlorn, from dreams
That haunt me, of the time that is to be,
When man shall cease from wantonness and strife,
And lay his law upon the course of things.
Then shall he live no more on sufferance,
An accident, the prey of powers blind;
The untamed giants of nature shall bow down—
The tides, the tempest and the lightning cease
From mockery and destruction, and be turned
Unto the making of the soul of man.
