I cannot rest from travel I will drink Life to the lees
Who trusted God was love indeed And love Creation's final law - Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw With ravine, shriek'd against his creed
Wisdom comes but knowledge lingers.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind, for those that were here we see no more.
Ring in the love of truth and right,Ring in the common love of good.
For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be

The older order changeth, yielding place to new, and God fulfills himself in many ways, lest one good custom should corrupt the world
Come, my friends,'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.Push off, and sitting well in order smiteThe sounding furrows for my purpose holdsTo sail beyond the sunset, and the bathsOf all the western stars, until I die.
