Thy brows were flushed with dawn's first light;
BY foamy waves with stars bedight,
Thy blue robe hoated free
Now let the sun ride high o'erhead,
Driving the day from shore to shore:
His burning tread we do not dread,
For thou art evermore
Lady Of love- whose smile shall bless,
Whom brave deeds win TO tenderness,
Whose tears the lost restore.
Lady OF hope thou art: we wait
With courage thy serene command.
Through unknown seas, toward undreamed
fate.
We ask thy guiding hand
On! though sails culver in the galei
Thou at the helm, we cannot fail.

The sun and moon shall be thy kin,
