     AMY BRIDGEMAN 

       1620´1920 

     BEFORE him rolls the dark�察�relentless ocean�察�Behind him stretch the 

cold   and   barren   sands�察  �Wrapt   in   the   mantle   of   his   deep   devotion   The 

Pilgrim kneels�察�and clasps his lifted hands�察�

     ;God   of   our   fathers�察  �who   hast   safely   brought   us   Through   seas   and 

sorrows�察  �famine�察  �fire�察  �and   sword�察  �Who�察  �in   Thy   mercies   manifold   hast 

taught us To trust in Thee�察�our leader and our Lord�察�

     ;God�察  �who   hast   send   Thy   truth   to    shine   before   us�察  �A   fiery   pillar�察�

beaconing on the sea�察�God�察�who hast spread thy wings of mercy o'er us�察�

God�察�who hast set our children's children free�察�

     ;Freedom       Thy   new´born      nation   here   shall   cherish�察  �Grant    us  Thy 

covenant�察  �changing�察  �sure�此  �Earth   shall   decay�察  �the   firmament   shall   perish�察�

Freedom and Truth�察�immortal shall endure。; 

     Face to the Indian arrows。 Face to the Prussian guns�察 �From then till 

now the Pilgrim's vow Has held the Pilgrim's sons。 

     He braved the red man's ambush�察�He loosed the black man's chain�察�His 

spirit broke King George's yoke And the battleships of Spain。 

     He   crossed   the   seething   ocean�察  �He   dared   the   death´strewn   track�察  �He 

charged in the hell of Saint Mihiel And hurled the tyrant back。 

     For   the   voice   of   the   lonely   Pilgram   Who   knelt   upon   the   strand   A 

people hears three hundred years In the conscience of the land。 

     Daughter of Truth and mother of Courage�察�Conscience�察�all hail� �Heart 

of New England�察�strength of the Pilgrims�察�Thou shalt prevail。 Look how 

the empires rise and fall� �Athens robed in her learning and beauty�察�Rome 

in her royal lust for power´ Each has flourished for her little hour�察�Risen 

and   fallen   and   ceased   to   be。 What   of her by  the Western   Sea�察  �Born   and 

bred as the child of Duty�察�Sternest of them all�拭�She it is and she alone Who 

built on faith as her corner stone�察�Of all the nations none but she Knew 

that the truth shall make us free。 Daughter of Courage�察�mother of heros�察�

Freedom divine。 Light of New England�察�Star of the Pilgrim�察�Still shalt thou 

shine。 Yet even as we in our pride rejoice�察�Hark to the prophet's warning 

voice�此 �The Pilgrim's thrift is vanished And the Pilgrim's faith is dead�察�And 

the Pilgrim's God is banished�察�And Mammon reigns in his stead�察�And work

is damned as an evil�察�And men and women cry�察�In their restless haste�察�'Let 

us spend and waste�察�And live�察�for to´morrow we die。' 

     ;And   law   is   trampled   under�察�And   the   nations   stand   aghast�察�As   they 

hear the distant thunder Of the storm that marches fast�察�And we��whose 

ocean borders Shut off the sound and the sight�察�We will wait for marching 

orders�察�The world has seen us fight�察�We have earned our days of revel�察�'On 

with the dance'� �we cry。 It is pain to think�察�we will eat and drink� �And live�察�

for to´morrow we die。; 

     ;We have laughed   in the eyes   of danger�察�We   have given our   bravest 

and   best�察  �We   have   succored   the   starving   stranger�察  �Others   shall   heed   the 

rest。' And the revel never ceases�察�And the nations hold their breath�察�And 

our laughter peals�察�and the mad world reels�察�To a carnival of death。 

     ;Slaves   of   sloth   and   the   senses�察  �Clippers   of   Freedom's   wings�察  �Come 

back to the Pilgrim's Army And fight for the King of Kings�察�Come back to 

the Pilgrim's conscience�察�Be born in the nation's birth�察�And strive again as 

simple men For the freedom of the earth。 Freedom a free´born nation still 

shall cherish�察�Be this our covenant�察�unchanging�察�sure�此�Earth shall decay�察�

the firmament shall perish�察�Freedom and Truth immortal shall endure。; 

     Land of our fathers�察�when the tempest rages�察�When the wide earth is 

racked with war and crime�察�Founded forever on the Rock of Ages�察�Beaten 

in vain by surging seas of time�察�

     Even    as   the  shallop   on   the  breakers    riding�察  �Even   as   the  Pilgrim 

kneeling on the shore�察�Firm in thy faith and fortitude abiding�察�Hold thou 

thy children free forever more。 

     And     when    we   sail  as   Pilgrims'   sons    and   daughters    The    spirit's 

Mayflower into seas unknown�察�Driving across the waste of wintry waters 

The voyage every soul shall make alone�察�

     The Pilgrim's faith�察�the Pilgrim's courage grant us�察�Still shines the truth 

that for the Pilgrim shone。 We are his seed�察�nor life nor death shall daunt 

us。 The port is Freedom�        �Pilgrim heart�察�sail on� �

                THE CROSS´CURRENT 



     THROUGH twelve stout generations New England blood I boast�察�The 

stubborn pastures bred them�察�The grim�察�uncordial coast�察�

     Sedate   and   proud   old   cities�察  �Loved   well   enough   by   me�察�Then   how 

should I be yearning To scour the earth and sea。 

     Each   of   my Yankee   forbears Wed   a   New   England   mate�此�They  dwelt 

and did and died here�察�Nor glimpsed a rosier fate。 

    My     clan   endured    their  kindred�察  �But   foreigners   they   loathed�察  �And 

wandering folk�察�and minstrels�察�And gypsies motley´clothed。 

     Then   why   do   patches   please   me�察  �Fantastic�察  �wild   array�拭  �Why   have   I 

vagrant fancies For lads from far away。 

    My folk were godly Churchmen�察�Or paced in Elders' weeds�察�But all 

were grave and pious And hated heathen creeds。 

     Then   why   are   Thor   and   Wotan   To   dread   forces   still�拭  �Why   does   my 

heart go questing For Pan beyond the hill�拭�

       My people clutched at freedom。 Though others' wills they chained�察� 

´ But made the Law and kept it�察�And Beauty�察�they restrained。 

     Then   why   am   I   a   rebel   To   laws   of   rule   and   square�拭  �Why   would   I 

dream and dally�察�Or�察�reckless�察�do and dare�拭�

       O   righteous�察  �solemn   Grandsires�察  �O   dames�察  �correct   and   mild�察  �Who 

bred me of your virtues� �Whence comes this changing child�拭�

     The    thirteenth   generation�察   �Unlucky    number     this�  �My    grandma 

loved a Pirate�察�And all my faults are his� �

    A  gallant�察  �ruffled   rover�察  �With   beauty´loving   eye�察  �He   swept   Colonial 

waters Of coarser�察�bloodier fry。 

    He waved his hat to danger�察�At Law he shook his fist。 Ah�察�merrily he 

plundered�察�He sang and fought and kissed� �

       Though none have found his treasure�察�And none his part would take�察� 

´ I bless that thirteenth lady Who chose him for my sake� �

    O HEARKEN�察�all ye little weeds That lie beneath the snow�察。�So low�察�

dear   hearts�察  �in   poverty   so   low�。�   The   sun   hath   risen   for   royal   deeds�察  �A 

valiant   wind   the  vanguard    leads�察 �Now    quicken    ye�察 �lest  unborn   seeds 

Before ye rise and blow。 

    O furry living things�察�adream On winter's drowsy breast�察。�How rest ye 

there�察�how softly�察�safely rest�。� Arise and follow where a gleam Of wizard 

gold unbinds the stream�察�And all the woodland windings seem With sweet 

expectance blest。 

    My birds�察�come back� �the hollow sky Is weary for your note。 ��Sweet´ 

throat�察  �come   back�   �O   liquid�察 �mellow   throat�。�  Ere   May's   soft  minions 

hereward   fly�察  �Shame   on   ye�察  �Laggards�察  �to   deny  The   brooding   breast�察  �the 

sun´bright eye�察�The tawny�察�shining coat� �
