In praise
Of those gamma rays

Grow Light

Grow, Light! Illuminate to see, for all,
The rising splendor of Tomorrow’s dawn —
Not since the primal and primeval Fall
Have we had such a Day to start upon!

Grow, Light! And in your penetrating glow
Give us the power to vigorously
And, finally, successfully, now grow
To manifest risen humanity

Grow, Light! Until our dim eyes colors see
Which, though we have not witnessed them before,
Now make of our world such a beauty be
As moves us to the center of each core

O grow, ye predawn Light, O greatly grow,
That we human potential come to know!
