Here you will find the Poem Finis. Time. of poet Joseph Furphy
O Time! Time! Time! Thou wondrous mystery! Within whose rune and rhyme Lies all Man's history Before Creation's birth Or yet the Heavens were made With darkness all was girth, Till word Creative said 'Let there be Light;' And lo! from out the deep In grandeur and with might Rolled back the ages of sleep, And born was Night-and-Day, And stars together sang Their glad harmonic lay And all Creation rang With 'Glory to God in the Highest.' Now let the strain resound And Man to God the nighest With Light and Life be crowned, Till in the time appointed, Unfolding from Man's breast Be Life with Love anointed And God made manifest.
