O Kindly-Thought, go straightway forth,
Fly East, and West, and South, and North.

Cheer downcast hearts, and take surcease
To troubled souls that yearn for peace.

Wax great, O Kindly-Thought, with use!
Be Joy's St. George, nor call a truce

In battling care! With shaft of light
Slay thou the Dragon of the Night!
