Heat the furnace hot; Smelt the things of thought Into dross and dew; Mould the world anew. More than earth and sea Is a heart and eye: Gird yourselves, and try All the powers that be. Wicked, cease at once Troubling; wearied eyes, Rest you now, while suns Dawn and moons arise 'Stablish heaven to-day; Cleanse the beast-marked brow; Wipe all tears away: Do it-do it now! Love, and hope, and know: Man-you must adore him': Let the whole past go: Think God's thought before Him. Knowledge is power? Above All else, knowledge is love. Heat the furnace hot: Smelt the world-old thought Into dross and dew; Mould the earth anew. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RAIN AFTER A VAUDEVILLE SHOW by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET A BETTER RESURRECTION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE TABLES TURNED by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 53.
