Shine you in the hour Of stress;
Nearer. dearer than all other
Things that kindle and that bless.
Grows the gay year ever stayer,
Sharper pinch.s the sharp time;
Soldier. hero, knave and slayer
Treads the world her battle slime.
Whittier march we? What fate beckon:
From behind the further hill?
Are we a blind hand that reckons
Gold upon a scarlet till?
We have chatted, we have boarded,
We have shut our eyes TO blood;
Comrades, To- our ship IS boarded.
Whirl we down the roaring flood.
I have held il ever better
We had never been 10 school
II our hearts must wear the fetter
OF the pedant and the fool.
| have held that man was smitten
Bitter blind, and ever shall,
Who hath not been conscience bitten
With the crime Of Carrzal.
Golden apples have We eaten,
Drained have we the dregs Of JOY;
Is our spirit lulled and beaten
And our soul become toy?
Freemen, we must post us stronger
Warders at our hearts and gates,
Or we shall not prosper longer
In this hell of binding hates.
Honest, faithful and answering
We must face the armored world,
Sword and book and hammer serving,
Bright our battle flags unfurled!
We must bear a harder people,
We must rear a truer breed,
Lance uplifted like Gods steeple,
Mounted as on his white steed!
We must fight for God in glory
As we fought for God OF old,
Or we perish from the story
That the centuries unfold.
Greater Marnes shall rise in thunder,
Greater Antichrists shall be
Ere we glimpse the starry wonder
OF the Hero of the Tree.
Greater kings shall rise in terror,
Greater Cesars shake the earth,
Ere we tread the serpent Error,
Drink the wine of life like mirth.
But the true man fights forever
ID the cycles Of the sun,
And he shall be broken never
Though the tale be never run!
Gettysburg still goes before US;
Crash on crash the cannon peal!
God of Thunders, lift thy chorus!
Lap us in thy flaming steel!
Onward Onward still there urges
In our hearts the shining light;
Like a bugle cry it surges,
Ringing down the rocking night!
0, my brothers, we are taken
From a stock that does not die,
But unturning and unshaken
Marches still the morning sky
We have split the crown asunder,
We have set the plain man iree'
And in lightning and in thunder
We must write our destiny.
We must march forever loyal
70 the faith that Freedom gives;
Man is in himself the royal
Soldier that forever lives!
This they wrote in Concord battle
This they wrote in deathless fame,
And where black the death drums rattl
We will answer TO that name.
Brighter whittier, o, our Mother,
Shine you in the hour OF stress;
Nearer. dearer than all other
Things that kindle and that bless.
