Concert of Nations

Possess thyself in peace, content to wait
The while aggression, apathy, and hate
Turn on themselves and thus are self-destroyed,
All their pretensions proven wholly void.
Let spiritual integrity avail
Where the confusion of the flesh must fail.

The nations of the earth shall yet unite
To share the fruits of liberty and light,
A commonwealth too wise for hurt or fear.
So shall the primal harmony appear,
The low refrain of a divine ideal
Swell to the noble rhythm of the real.
