The new worlds seed-corn. there they stood

The Sewer saw, and called them good.
And left the old worlds plenty.
Little or great, ah. what cares hcf
He saves by few or many:
He knows in seed-corn how TO see
The harvest, if there's any.
There was no room in all the earth,
Though it had whirled for ages,
For man as man. for simple worth,
Except as serf> and pages.
Kings dressed him up in uniform.
Wars trumpet called him louder,
He left his hearthstone. snug and warm,
Fit food for foreign powder.
Thus saith the Lord: Il take sieve,
And in it shake the nations:
! want some souls that God believe.
With pomp I'm out of patience.
Old crumbling empires | forSake,
Men decked with stars and carriers;
Give me some stuff that's tit TO make
OF heroes grand or martyrs"
The Pilgrims heard this voice of God
So long in furnace cha>teued:
Take ship he said, for lands untrod!'
And to obey him fastened.

Where ! can raise >talwart race
In spite of wars and taxes.
