It brought the author much cordial
praise. Two stanzas are here repro
duced as an example of the 'grander,
mightier sentiment which finds expres
sion in Mr. Ducroy's well chosen words:
Behind us like a noisome fog
the past uprears
With hideous pictures wrought
in blackest gloom ,
Of famine, gaunt and grim,
of hate and ail toe spawn
Of hell, that bides in
war's prolific womb ;
Of wrong triumphant
in its pride and insolence
Of peace and truth expunged ,
of hope denied ,
Of love despised,
despoiled and crucified .
The century's gates swing outward
with sonorous clang ,
Disclosing, all unsullied
and untrod,
A gleaming threshold,
like the steps that slope beyond
The veiling mists to touch
the throne of God ;
And from the heights invisible
there comes a chant
Of angel singing,
luring men to holier things ,
As higher up the steps
the glad world swings .
