arrowed gladness surely pierces through 〃From London's centre to

When England�察�sobbing�察�mourns Gallipoli�察�When warm tears flow for

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� �

CANDLEMAS
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� �

SUNRISE ON MANSFIELD
MOUNTAIN
O SWIFT forerunners�察 �rosy with the race� �Spirits of dawn�察 �divinely
manifest Behind your blushing banners in the sky�察 �Daring invaders of
Night's tenting´ground�察�How do ye strain on forward´bending foot�察�Each
to be first in heralding of joy� �
With silence sandalled�察�so they weave their way�察�And so they stand�察�
with silence panoplied�察 �Chanting�察 �through mystic symbollings of flame�察�
Their solemn invocation to the light。
O changeless guardians� �0 ye wizard first� �What strenuous philter
feeds your potency。 That thus ye rest�察�in sweet wood´hardiness�察�Ready to
learn of all and utter naught�拭�What breath may move ye�察�or what breeze
invite To odorous hot lendings of the heart�拭�What wind´but all the winds
are yet afar�察�And e'en the little tricksy zephyr sprites�察 �That fleet before
them�察�like their elfin locks�察�Have lagged in sleep�察�nor stir nor waken yet To
pluck the robe of patient majesty。
Too still for dreaming�察 �too divine for sleep�察 �So range the firs�察 �the
constant�察�fearless ones。 Warders of mountain secrets�察�there they wait�察�Each
with his cloak about him�察 �breathless�察 �calm。 And yet expectant�察 �as wh
