AD ASTRA: 31 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: AND MAN-TO WHAT ACHIEVEMENTS DOTH HE MOVE?
Last Line: BEFORE THE SMILE OF UNIVERSAL PEACE.
Subject(s): DEATH; PEACE; DEAD, THE;
And Man—to what achievements doth he move?
Who shall his godward march or end descry?
Out of the earth what untold treasure-trove?
What realms await him in the trackless sky?
The storéd lightnings at his bidding fly,
The circuits of the World their bounds decrease
Before the smile of Universal Peace.
