Afterwards, when
The old Gods' hate
On the riven earth
No more is poured:
The old Gods' hate
On the riven earth
No more is poured:
When weapons of war
Are all outworn
What shall become
Of the race of men?
Are all outworn
What shall become
Of the race of men?
One shall go forth
In the likeness of a child:
Under sere skies
Of a grey dawning:

Under sere skies
Of a grey dawning:
One shall go forth
In the likeness of a child,
And desolate places
Shall spring and blossom:
In the likeness of a child,
And desolate places
Shall spring and blossom:
One shall go forth
In the likeness of a child:
And men shall sing
And greatly rejoice:
In the likeness of a child:
And men shall sing
And greatly rejoice:
All men shall sing
For the love that is in them,
And he shall behold it
And sing also.
For the love that is in them,
And he shall behold it
And sing also.
