<h3><SPAN name="The_Living_Torch" id="The_Living_Torch"></SPAN>The Living Torch</h3>
<p class="margin-b">
They stand before me now, those eyes that shine,<br/>
No doubt inspired by an Angel wise;<br/>
They stand, those God-like brothers that are mine,<br/>
And pour their diamond fires in mine eyes.<br/>
<br/>
From all transgressions, from all snares, they save,<br/>
Towards the Path of Joy they guide my ways;<br/>
They are my servants, and I am their slave;<br/>
And all my soul, this living torch obeys.<br/>
<br/>
Ye charming Eyes—ye have those mystic beams,<br/>
Of candles, burning in full day; the sun<br/>
Awakes, yet kills not their fantastic gleams:<br/>
<br/>
Ye sing the Awak'ning, they the dark oblivion;<br/>
The Awak'ning of my spirit ye proclaim,<br/>
O stars—no sun can ever kill your flame!<br/></p>
