so now applause

the age of miracles is not yet past

we see the light and are constrained to weep

at finding out that we have got off cheap

while others suffered from the sudden blast

and learned the price of what they got to keep

the age of miracles is not yet past

this turning world now seems to move too fast

for those of us who have no time to sleep

while others think that centuries just creep

the age of miracles is not yet past
