Into infinity of blue and gold,
And as his eyes were lifted thus aloft,
He said: “What profit hath a man, if he
Should gain the entire world and lose his soul?
What can he give for it in true exchange?
This is the truth which saves or doth avenge,
And now as I am here to give my all,
I thank thee Father for the Victory.”
A pray’r which followed was by clamor drowned,
The torch applied set loose the crackling flame,
Which leaped about his limbs and to his face,
Extinguishing the glory of his gaze,
And silencing the lisping of His name
Who hath with immortality him crowned.
