Fortuitous Thoughts.
Then will the stars grow dim and lustreless , And folks on earth be in a pretty mess ; Selection ' s theories then shall be renewed , And , by the fittest , chaos be subdued . Development its SAvay will then assert ,
And winged men bring forth from humble dirt . Each human form a grace divine will bear , And Avalk the earth , or float about the air : One race in all Avith peaceful lives well blest , Each equal , glad in motion , or at rest .
These happy beings ever shall exist , And youthful age Time ' s ravages resist . Each sex a love Platonic pure Avill feel , As chaste emotions through their bosoms steal :
Delightful Confidence shall rule the earth , And Doubt and Fear no more have mundane birth . No prowling wolf the gentle lamb shall fright , No screeching owl disturb the quiet night ; All nature calm enwrapped in blest repose ,
A world of joy to man will e ' er disclose ; And this fair earth from evil shall be free , And danger cease for those who plough the sea : Then will mankind rejoicing go their way , And friendly night succeed the perfect day .
This blest Elysian , or ecstatic state , Shall pave the way for man ' s celestial fate . A taste of Paradise , a glimpse sublime Of Heaven ' s joy and brightly blissful clime .
# # * ' # # * # Oh ! what a change this simple life will be , From tricks and tricksters always to be free ; The cunning man shall all his cunning lose ,
And cheats no more invent a cheating ruse ; But guileless man , before the light of clay , The Courts of LaAV at once shall sweep aAvay . Then fostered rage and envy , softened down , Must vanquished be , by Virtue ' s smallest frown .
The Universe the Reign of Peace shall know , And men ' s exalted mind but goodness shoAv ; A language pure and fresh in Avord and tone , Will make the earth a new and verbal zone ;
