A Vision of Progress
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and .all the Avonder that Avould be: Saw the heavens fill Avith commerce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping dOAVii with costly bales; Heard the heavens filled with shouting, and there rained a ghastly dew From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue; Far along the world-wide whisper of the south Avind rushing warm, With the standards of the peoples plunging through the thunderstorm ; Till the war-drum throbbed no longer, and the battle-flags were furled, In the Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World. Then the common sense of most'shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law. --—- ■"" ----- 2 '
