First Line: A trust that ancient folly yet shall come
Last Line: And fills the future world with fools.
Subject(s): Angels; Ghosts; Mediums; Supernatural; Spiritualists
A TRUST that ancient folly yet shall come
To feed on all the human race;
A ghastly faith that kneels before a lie,
And glories in its own disgrace.
A faith that tramples reason 'neath its foot,
And mocks the wisdom of the schools;
That drives the holy angels out of Heaven,
And fills the future world with fools.
