It's The Sweet Law Of Men
It's the sweet law of men
They make wine from grapes
They make fire from coal
They make men from kisses
It's the true law of men
Kept intact despite
the misery and war
despite danger of death
It's the warm law of men
To change water to light
Dream to reality
Enemies to friends
A law old and new
That
perfects
itself
From the child's heart's depths
To reason's heights.

The oak from his foundation, and which spills
The ocean o'er its boundary, and bears

Descending through the dismal night--a night

Yea, and her child is Desire: in the train of his

The whispering parley, the paths of the rapture that
lovers love well.

And near a
waterless
stream the piteous swan
Opened his beak, and bathing in the dust
His nervous wings, he cried (his heart the while
Filled with a vision of his own fair lake):
"O water, when then wilt thou come in rain?

Rome's mighty column, by your valiant hand
Taken and kept entire, more praise has shed
On you, than if the

Had routed by your single valour bled,
Of all who flocked to fat Ravenna's land,
Or masterless, without a banner fled,
Of Arragon, Castile, or of Navarre;
When vain was lance or cannon's thundering car.
