Why thro' vast æons was The Light delay'd?
Why was the knowledge of The Way denied?
Where was God's Loving-kindness, where His aid
In those dark ages of adulterous pride?
That He could in His peaceful Heaven abide
While sorrow and ancient pain on earth made moan,
And never a Wind of Grace blew from His throne!
