THE GOOD TIME COME.
149
For Love's the spell, that worketh well,
All evil to destroy;
In every home, the good time come,
Shall fill each breast with joy.

The human form, radiant and warm,
Will angel beauty wear;
No trace remain, of sickness, pain,
Of sorrow, guilt, or care;
For Love's the spell, that worketh well,
All evil to destroy;
Li every home, the good time come,
Shall fill each breast with joy.

Each man will then an Adam be,
And every woman Eve;
While Peace again shall dwell with men,
And all like brothers live;
For Love's the spell, that worketh well,
All evil to destroy;
In every home, the good time come,
Shall fill each breast with joy.

Thus Eden lost, will Heaven restore,
Hope's fadeless flowers shall bloom;
Man's only strife by sinless life,
To give to sin a tomb;
