Bright light, peaceful light,

Free light, light unbound!

What is this, brother light?

In thy warm home thou’rt found

By censers smoked,

By priests’ robes choked,

Fettered and fooled

And byIconsruled.

Yield thee not in the fight,

Waken up, brother light!

Shed thy pure rays

On mankind’s ways.

All priestly robes in rags we’ll tear

And light our pipes from censers rare,

WithIconsnow the flames will roar,

With holy brooms we’ll sweep the floor.
