Declaration of the Báb – by Kay Patcon

The blessed Báb, His turban green.
Shone bright upon the Persian scene.

Sent by God to bring His love
And His laws from above.

'Twas Mulla Husayn the Báb first told
About His Mission and trust to hold.

Dauntless, courageous, brave and true.
The Dawn-Breakers had a task to do.

Of fighting enemies of His Cause;
Only death could bring a pause.

Gaining victory for the Báb,
Imprisoned and hated by the mob.

Alas, the Báb was shot and dead,
But victory followed in His stead

For His Faith remained alive
And soon His Promised One arrived!

(Child’s Way Magazine, May-June, 1971)
