THE RECRUIT

SSO much to me is imminent:To leave Revolt that is my tent,And Failure, chosen for my bride,And into life’s highway be gone,Ere yet Creation marches on,Obedient, jocund, glorified;And last of things afoot, to knowHow to be free is still to goWith glad concession, grave accord,Nor longer, bond and imbecile,Stand out against the gradual Will,The guessedFall in!of God the Lord.

SO much to me is imminent:

To leave Revolt that is my tent,

And Failure, chosen for my bride,

And into life’s highway be gone,Ere yet Creation marches on,Obedient, jocund, glorified;

And into life’s highway be gone,

Ere yet Creation marches on,

Obedient, jocund, glorified;

And last of things afoot, to knowHow to be free is still to goWith glad concession, grave accord,

And last of things afoot, to know

How to be free is still to go

With glad concession, grave accord,

Nor longer, bond and imbecile,Stand out against the gradual Will,The guessedFall in!of God the Lord.

Nor longer, bond and imbecile,

Stand out against the gradual Will,

The guessedFall in!of God the Lord.
