Children of the Forest, 1910.

May Poetry Page
Featuring Henry Wadsworth Longfellow &​ Jim Willis 


A Child’s Memory
By Jim Willis

Dear Santa, he wrote in his childish hand,
Bring me a bundle of toys.
A gun that will shoot, and a soldier suit,
And the same for the neighbor boys.
For we’re going to fight like gallant knights,
We’re going to glorious war.
I’ll need the things I’ve asked you to bring;
And maybe, even more...


​The Children's Hour
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the day's occupations,
That is known as the Children's Hour.
I hear in the chamber above me
The patter of little feet,
The sound of a door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet...

​Nothing comes from nothing. Manly Hall’s vision for the All-Seeing Eye was entirely supported by contributions from its readers who paid for their subscription with gifts made according to their means. ​Manly Hall wrote,

“This magazine is published and distributed privately to those who make possible with their financial support its publication. The magazine cannot be bought and has no fixed value. Like all of the ancient teachings which it seeks to promulgate, it has no comparative value, but the students must support it for its own intrinsic merit.”

Your donation pays for a full year of New PRS Journal excellence, including exclusive access to a subscriber content—rare unpublished articles, and new writing by experts in their fields, poetry, and book reviews. Initiation is a beginning, and an end – the initiate enters a new life as a member of a select group, but ends their old life. Nothing can be the same again. We ask you to join the PRS mission to reveal the light of ancient wisdom.

Subscribe to the New Journal

​The New Journal also needs your writing. We are presently interested in articles about these topics: Reincarnation - Tribal beliefs - Tradition - Magic - Eclipse - Ghosts - Heaven
