Hol Pilgrim sons Of Pilgrim sres
Who, touched with manhood's newer hopes,
Have built your sacred altar fires
Upon our western prairie slopes;
In u true, that yielding NJ the last
The stormfu hour that draweth nigh,
Shall end your voes and voices cast
For this accurst, usurpine lief
Remember ye the grand replies
OF earlier Isracls prophet youths
who, cal n a. are the upper skies,
Claspsd hands with Heavens diyiuer truths
| And, when the fiery furnace flames
| Coilsd round them-ss screuely trod
| As tho a breathing Angel names,
they walked amid the thrones Of gcdY
q brothers. when the ruffian's torch
Blazei all along your thrifty wales,
And when you felt your fierce blood scotoh
Al uampled womsn's shuddering tales,
L ye held no parley with the sin
We knew no coward shrinking then;
