“Howbeit neither is the woman without the man nor the man without the woman, in the Lord,” (i.e. in the Spirit).
I. Corinth. xi. 11.
Ten thousand years ago two forms
Had ever been;
And yet but One existed then,
Fire-King unseen!
Ten thousand years ago two forms
Were born in earth
And Prince with Princess Royal were they –
E’en from their birth!
Ten thousand years ago the states,
Of mortal life,
Which Prince with Princess Royal upheld –
Were bloodshed, strife!
Ten thousand years ago two forms
In silence slept;
A Bird of Paradise survived,
And mortals wept!
The knowledge of ten thousand years
Of earthly strife –
Was blest within one form in death –
One perfect life!
Ten thousand years have passed away,
And bloodshed, strife –
Will be destroyed in earth by One –
Fire-King of Life!
Ten thousand years will pass, two forms,
Within one soul,
A Prince with Princess Royal, will be
While ages roll!
