Faith, when none believe;
Truth, when all deceive;
Freedom, when force restrained;
Courage to sunder chains;
Pride, when good is shame;
Love, when love is blame,--
These shall call me in stars and flame!
Thus if your souls have wrought,
Ere ye approach me, I shine unsought."
But Eos proceeds to warn Deukalion and Pyrrha of long trial, and of
many disappointments, closing thus:
"When darkness falls,
And what may come is hard to see;
When solid adamant walls
Seem built against the Future that shall be;
When Faith looks backward, Hope dies, Life appals,
Think most of Morning and of me!
[The rosy glow in the sky fades away]

Go back to Earth, and wait!
