He of the lion-voice, the rainbow-crowned, Shall stand upon the mountains and the sea, And swear by earth, by Heaven’s throne, and Him Who sitteth on the throne, there shall be Time No more, no more! Then veiled Eternity Shall straight unveil her awful countenance Unto the reeling world, and take the place Of seasons, years and ages. Aye and aye Shall be the time of day!
