And wintry skies and foes every hand

In this new land, was but schoolhouse rude
TO build whose walls the forest kings had bowed
Their high and tempest sconing heads and lain
Their roughhewn trunks together. Not in vain
For this, her sons had crossed the wintry main
And dared the deserts awful solitude.
For thither, day by day,
Their children took their way
And drank OF lawful freedom here lessons pure and deep
From that fresh fountain bright,
