236 And I have faith in man, That some time, surely, he will wake to feel His brotherhood, deep underlying all, The kinship that is given him for strength, The strange, mysterious soul which he alone Doth hold in common only with his kind. And if it be so, if the time should come When men shall all be one, as once 'twas said They were one man, then, as in those fair days, The earth shall be subdued, and all our powers, No more rebellious, shall before him bow, The worthy subjects of a worthy King.
